Anthony Allen (born 1 September 1986) is a former England international rugby union player and coach.

In 2000 Allen Won the Hampshire Cup with the Trojans Under-13 side, whilst attending Boundary Oak School at Roche Court, just outside Fareham.

The arrival of Olly Barkley from Bath presented a higher level of competition for Allen than in previous seasons.

In his first season at Leicester, Allen was faced with breaking into a first-choice centre pairing of Aaron Mauger and Dan Hipkiss.

However, his ability to cover both positions and a series of injuries to his rivals allowed him to quickly establish himself in the side.

Before long, he was a first-choice centre and he marked his debut season at the club with the first major trophy of his career as Leicester won the Guinness Premiership final against Saracens.

[4] He made his England debut against New Zealand on 5 November 2006, partnering Newcastle Falcons' Jamie Noon in the centre.

He was an integral part of the England Saxons sides that won the Churchill Cup in Canada / USA 2008 and again in 2010.

[5][6] All was appointed defence coach at Championship club Coventry in 2019,[7] before relinquishing the role in November 2020 to pursue interests away from rugby.
