Grant Terry Hall (born 29 October 1991 in Brighton, East Sussex) is a professional footballer who plays for League One side Swindon Town, on loan from Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur. Hall plays as a central defender. He has previously played for Brighton & Hove Albion and Lewes.
Club career
On 6 October 2009, Hall transferred to Brighton & Hove Albion after a successful trial period from non-League side Lewes.[2] Hall had previously been involved with Brighton's centre of excellence but missed out on a youth scholarship at 16 and was released.[3]
On 26 December 2011, Hall was named as a substitute for Brighton's 3-0 defeat away to Reading, and was subsequently named once again as a substitute during the 2-0 defeat to Coventry City five days later. Hall made his first senior appearance for Brighton during the 3-0 victory over Southampton at the Falmer Stadium on 2 January 2012, coming on as a 53rd-minute substitute replacing Mauricio Taricco.[4] Hall made his first full debut for the first team against Wrexham on 7 January 2012 in the FA Cup third round.[5]
During May 2012, Hall was offered a new three-year contract amid interest from Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur.[6] Hall thus rejected a new contract offer from Brighton & Hove Albion and signed for Tottenham Hotspur.[7] The defender made his debut during a pre-season friendly against Kingstonian.[8]
During July 2013, Hall and fellow Tottenham team-mate Massimo Luongo joined League One side Swindon Town on a season-long loan deal.[9]
