Former Queensland representative Corey Allan has announced his retirement from the NRL after seven seasons.<\/p>\n
Allan, who debuted in 2019, played 75 games across his career across the Rabbitohs, Bulldogs, Roosters, and Dragons. He also represented the Broncos at an under 20s level.<\/p>\n
While the Super League was an option for the versatile outside back, he has opted to call time on his career after the Dragons decided against re-signing him.<\/p>\n
Allan represented Queensland in State of Origin on one occasion in 2020, playing fullback in Game III as the “worst ever Queensland team” completed the biggest upset in Origin history.<\/p>\n
He also represented the Australian PM XIII in 2028 before making his debut.<\/p>\n
Allan took to social media to announce his retirement on the eve of 2026.<\/p>\n
“THANK YOU,” Allan wrote on Instagram.<\/p>\n
“As the year is about to end, what better time to announce that I\u2019ve decided to finish playing professionally, the opportunity to head overseas was alluring but I didn\u2019t want to do anything I wasn\u2019t 100% in for, so I\u2019m content with my decision.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m so grateful to have been able to live out my dream and till this day I have nothing but gratitude and happiness when I look back at what was.<\/p>\n
“To these teams: Broncos, Rabbitohs, Bulldogs, Roosters, Dragons, I can\u2019t thank you enough. Whether I came through your system or played for your club, the values and lessons I\u2019ve received from all of you has shaped me into who I am today.<\/p>\n
“I can\u2019t wait to see what life has in store for me.”<\/p>\n
Allan finishes his career with 18 tries, scoring his final try in what would be his last game in the NRL: Round 27 of the 2025 season for the Dragons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Queensland representative Corey Allan has announced his retirement from the NRL after seven seasons.
