A pupil at St John's Roman Catholic High School, he joined the Dundee United youth programme based at the school in 2010, where he was coached by Ian Cathro.[2]

Allardice signed his first professional contract for Dundee United in June 2014, but missed most of the 2014–15 season due to a knee injury.[2] He made his first team debut against Falkirk in a Scottish Championship match on 8 April 2017.[3]

He would go on to wear the captain's armband for Bohemians in his native Scotland as the Irish outfit took part in the Scottish Challenge Cup in place of club captain Derek Pender who was rested for the trip.[8] Allardice signed for League of Ireland team Waterford before the 2020 season commenced.[9]
