After making thirty first-team appearances for Worcester[5] a move to French club Soyaux Angouleme was agreed in 2018 however the transfer ultimately didn’t materialise and for health reasons he took a break from rugby.[6] [7]

Alo was a second-half replacement for Jeffery Toomaga-Allen in the 2020 Premiership Final as Wasps finished runners up to Exeter.[9] [10]
Wasps entered administration on 17 October 2022 and Alo was made redundant along with all other players and coaching staff.[11] After made redundant from Wasps, Alo signed for top French club Racing 92 for the rest of the 2022-23 season.[12]
On 23 April 2023, Alo returned to England to sign for ambitious Championship side Ealing Trailfinders from the 2023-24 season.[13]
