As of 2022, Jamie Allen’s exact net worth is unknown, although with an almost a decade long career in football so far, he’s had plenty of time to earn some money. His salary at Halifax FC hasn’t been officially revealed, however a local newspaper has previously reported that players on the team can make “£950 a week up to £1,100-£1,200 a week”. This doesn’t include any sponsorships or brand work he might have done as well, either via his work as a footballer or through his new ventures into reality TV.

Jamie started his career on the youth team at Fleetwood Town and joined their senior team in 2012. He’s also played for Barrow, AFC Fylde, Stalbridge Celtic, Southport, Dover Athletic and his current Halifax FC. He’s also played seven games for the Montserrat national team since 2019.
Jamie is taking a break from his current role at Halifax while he appears on Love Island and it hasn’t been confirmed yet whether he’ll return back to the team. When he made his debut on the ITV show, his club released a statement saying: “Jamie Allen has decided to join the cast of Love Island 2022, making his intentions clear that the opportunity is very important to him. The matter will be reviewed on his return."
Before heading into the Love Island villa, Jamie opened up on his reasons for appearing on the show, saying: “Now I am 27, I want to find someone, have a genuine connection and fall in love so Love Island is the perfect place for me to find that.”
When it comes to love, he said that he's "really a slow burner as he's never been in love and has a high guard all the time… it takes a lot for that barrier to come down, but once it is down, I am all for it.”
