Allen started the campaign as back-up to Gordon in the left wing-back slot but subsequently excelled at left centre-back to make 16 consecutive starts from mid-February onwards.
Gordon said: “I’ve got nothing but amazing things to say about Taylor. We speak at training all the time and socialise outside of football a lot as well.
