Mirror reports that Jamie’s decision to be a part of the ITV2 dating reality TV show came weeks after he signed the deal with Halifax Town. The clubs usually go through pre-season preparation disruptions when players switch teams but Jamie’s decision to head to Mallorca to be a part of the show has left Halifax Town in a fix.
The club hasn’t confirmed if they would take Jamie back on his return, however, they posted on social media:
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.

And when the manager asked what was it about, Jamie replied:
I’m just letting you know I’m joining the cast of Love Island. This opportunity is very important to me.
The football Manager didn't skimp on its rendition of the scenario either, modifying a tab to say ‘Personality: 10/10’ and tweaking the sidebar to read ‘Relationship: Ready to graft.
