Glenn Hall (born 21 March 1981 in Sydney, New South Wales[1]) is an Australian professional rugby league player. He plays for the North Queensland Cowboys in the National Rugby League (NRL). He previously played for a number of clubs, including the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles, where he was part of the team that won the 2008 NRL premiership and the 2009 World Club Challenge. He plays as a forward.

Hall started his career with the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs before joining the South Sydney Rabbitohs for the 2004 and 2005 seasons, playing 19 NRL matches.[2]

Hall joined Manly in 2007. Despite being a regular member of the first-grade squad, he injured his shoulder late in the regular season, and missed Manly's finals campaign, including the grand final defeat to the Melbourne Storm.[3] However, the following season, Manly won the grand final (against the Storm), with Hall starting in the second row.[4] He was also a member of the Manly team that won the 2009 World Club Challenge against the Leeds Rhinos.[5]

Hall moved to England to join the Bradford Bulls for the 2010 Super League season. He left the club by mutual consent after a season in which he found himself dropped to the Bulls' reserve team.[6][7]

In January 2011, Hall signed a two year contract to play for the North Queensland Cowboys.[8]
