Born in Rothwell in Leeds, Allinson joined Huddersfield Town at under-10 level. Whilst at Huddersfield he had two loan spells at Ilkeston during the 2011–12 and 2013–14 seasons before becoming a regular on Huddersfield’s first-team bench during the 2014–15 season. He eventually made his senior debut for Huddersfield on 7 May 2016.

In August 2016, the 6’ 3??? keeper signed for Chesterfield after featuring for the club during pre-season. He made his Chesterfield debut on 30 August 2016 in a 2-1 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers U23 in the opening round of the EFL Trophy and went on to play a further 4 EFL Trophy matches and 5 League One matches.

Allinson made his first team debut for FC United in our first pre-season friendly away at Bohemian FC in July, and made his league debut away at Brackley Town on Saturday 5th August.

FC United Junior Member Jacob recently interviewed Lloyd for the ‘Children of the Revolution’ Podcast.
