Robert Hall is a versatile forward who began his pro career with West Ham in 2011.

The same year saw him making his U19s debut for England, coming on as a sub for now-Three Lions captain Kane.

But Hall only made one Premier League appearance for the Hammers before spending time on loan at Oxford United, MK Dons, Birmingham and Bolton.

Wanderers ended up making his move permanent in 2013, with Hall going on to make 31 appearances for the club in the Championship.

He then spent two seasons on loan in League One with MK Dons before sealing a transfer to Oxford United in 2016.

Hall flourished in England’s third tier with 19 goals in 98 games.

He then spent time at Forest Green in League Two before dropping into non-league with Barnet.

And last summer Hall moved from pro football into a semi-pro lifestyle by signing for National League South outfit Hampton & Richmond Borough.

He’s got off to a flyer for his new side, scoring twice in nine outings so far.

Hall’s greatest achievement came when he helped England win the U17s Euros in 2010.

And he now runs his own coaching school called Tek 7, advertising slots for players of all ages and abilities.
