Allouch began his youth career at RKSV Pancratius before moving to AFC and eventually Ajax. However, in September 2017, he was released from Ajax following an incident.[3] Later that year, he found a new home in the youth academy of AZ, where he developed into a youth international. In 2019, he signed a contract extension until 2022.[4]
His professional debut in the Eerste Divisie for Jong AZ came on 13 September 2019, in an away match against Jong PSV, which ended in a 3–2 loss. Allouch entered the game in the 71st minute, replacing Félix Correia.[5]
In 2021, an injury sidelined him for an extended period, but he made a triumphant return in November 2021. His impressive performance led to a contract extension until 2024, with an option for an additional year in March 2022.[6] During the 2022–23 season, Allouch scored six goals and provided seven assists in his first 20 appearances. In October 2022, Allouch was honoured with the Bronze Shield for being named Best Talent of the first period of the Eerste Divisie, sparking interest from other clubs.[7]
In January 2023, Allouch moved to VVV-Venlo, reuniting with former teammates Sem Dirks, Richard Sedláček, and Robin Lathouwers.[8] Allouch signed a contract with VVV until 2026 and made his debut for the club on 27 January 2023, coming on as a substitute for Kristófer Kristinsson in the 54th minute during a home match against ADO Den Haag, which ended in a 0–0 draw.[9]
During the 2023–24 season, he encountered disciplinary challenges, resulting in his absence from three games due to lateness on matchdays.[10] This included a significant 2–1 loss on 15 December 2023, against TOP Oss.[11]
On 1 February 2024, Allouch signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Sabail in Azerbaijan.[12]
Allouch is a Netherlands youth international. With the under-17s, he scored a goal against Sweden U17 in October 2018, during the qualifiers for the 2019 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[13] He then participated in the tournament, after the Netherlands secured qualification. He played five matches during the competition, where he played as a right winger. The Dutch won the tournament by beating Italy U17 in the final with a score of 4–2.[14]
Born in the Netherlands, Allouch is of Moroccan descent.[15]
