Paddy McAllister (born 20 July 1989) is an Irish rugby union player who plays prop for Gloucester Rugby.
Paddy is a loose-head prop who joined the Ulster squad on a development contract at the start of the 2010-11 season after impressing in club rugby with Ballynahinch. He went on to make 22 appearances in that season, including 10 starts. The former Ireland Schools, U19 and U20 international has become a big favourite with the crowd at Ravenhill. His ball carrying ability is a major asset to the team and despite his tender age he has shown he can compete with far more experienced players in the scrum.He has appeared in Heineken Cup, Pro12, and Magner's League games since 2010.
He left Ulster in 2014, to join French club Aurillac in the Pro D2 during the 2014-15 season. On 29 January 2015, McAllister moves to England to join Gloucester Rugby in the Aviva Premiership from the 2015-16 season.[1]
McAllister is a devout Christian.[2]
