Club career

Hall has played for Coventry City for most of his career, coming through the ranks to make his debut in 1994. He left the club to join Nottingham Forest in the 2002–03 season, but only played one game for Forest before moving to Southampton where he failed to make an appearance.[1] He then spent three seasons at Stoke City, but returned to Highfield Road in 2005. On 2 August 2009, Hall was granted a testimonial match against Everton following 10 years of service with Coventry which ended in a 2–2 draw.[2] At the end of the 2009–10 season, Coventry City told Hall he was surplus to requirements and he was subsequently released. Hall has never been sold for a fee, instead moving between clubs on free transfers.

Hall signed for Northampton Town on a one-year deal on 1 August 2010.[3] In May 2011, along with seven other players, he was told his contract would not be renewed by the club.[4]

International career

Hall is a former captain of the England U21s, and has scored goals at this level. He has also played in an England B international.
