Alloo made a single first-class appearance, during the 1914–15 season, against Wellington. Batting in the lower order in the first innings, he scored 4 runs, but, when Wellington forced the follow-on, Alloo moved further up the order, where he scored a duck. Alloo bowled 20 overs in the match, conceding 91 runs.[1]

His brothers Cecil and Arthur were also first-class cricketers. The brothers were the grandsons of John Alloo, a Chinese-born businessman on the Ballarat goldfields, and his wife, née Margaret Peacock, who had come out from Scotland. John and Margaret moved to the Otago goldfields in 1868, where he was employed by the Otago Police Force as a constable-interpreter.[2][3]

Albert Alloo served overseas with the New Zealand Expeditionary Force in the First World War.[4]
