Anthony Allen (born 1 September 1986, Southampton) is an English rugby union footballer, currently playing in the Guinness Premiership for Gloucester Rugby. He plays as a centre.

In 2005, he joined Gloucester straight from Millfield School and made his first team debut in their Anglo Welsh Cup match against Bristol RFC, which they won 6-34, during the 2005-2006 rugby union season.

He made his England debut against New Zealand on 5 November 2006, partnering Newcastle Falcons' Jamie Noon in the centre, but Allen was dropped after they lost 25-18 to Argentina.

As a youth he played his rugby at Trojans R.F.C in Hampshire, whilst attending Boundary Oak School in Fareham. From there he moved on to Clayesmore School at the age of 13.

He was called into the England Saxons side that defeated Ireland A on 1 February 2008. [1] [2]
