He was also contracted to Southampton whilst a Premier League team but failed to make any appearances. During the 1996–97 campaign he was handed 8 England U21 caps, scoring twice.

Club career

[edit]

Hall was born in Coventry and began his career with his local side, Coventry City. He progressed through the youth ranks at Highfield Road and made his debut against Tottenham Hotspur on New Year's Eve in 1994–95 with the "Sky Blues" losing 4–0.[2] His first start was a televised home match against Manchester United which Hall described as a 'frightening experience'.[2] Hall spent eight seasons with the Sky Blues making 157 appearances scoring four goals. He left Coventry to join Nottingham Forest in the 2002–03 season, but only played one game against Portsmouth[3] for Forest before moving back to the Premier League with Southampton where he failed to make an appearance.[4]

Hall joined Stoke City in December 2002.[5] He played in 27 matches in 2002–03 helping the club avoid relegation on the final day of the season. In 2003–04 Hall played in 38 matches as Stoke finished in mid-table. He played in 22 matches in 2004–05 and scored his only goal for Stoke against Derby County on 30 August 2004.[6] He made a return to Coventry City in January 2005 on a free transfer.[7]

He spent the next six seasons with Coventry making 151 appearances and was granted a testimonial match against Everton following 10 years of service with Coventry which ended in a 2–2 draw.[8] At the end of the 2009–10 season, Coventry City told Hall he was surplus to requirements and he was subsequently released. Hall signed for Northampton Town on a one-year deal on 1 August 2010.[9] In May 2011, along with seven other players, he was told his contract would not be renewed by the club after making 28 appearances.[10]
