Club career
[edit]Academy
[edit]In 2020, Hall joined the New York Red Bulls Academy and played in the academy for three years, where he scored 28 goals in 39 matches played for Red Bulls Academy. He led the Red Bulls U-15's to win the 2023 U-15 MLS NEXT Cup for the first time in academy history, he scored five goals during the tournament and won the U-15 MLS NEXT Cup MVP Award.

On September 7, 2023, Hall signed a three-year contract with the first team.[3][4] On September 30, 2023, Hall made his MLS debut for the Red Bulls in a 0–1 home loss to Chicago Fire, in which he played for the final 10 minutes of the match, replacing Elias Manoel. Hence, he became the second-youngest MLS player, aged 15 years and 190 days, only behind Freddy Adu, and the youngest debutant in Red Bulls history, ahead of Eddie Gaven and Serge Ngoma.[5]
On June 19, 2024, Hall became the second youngest MLS goalscorer behind Freddy Adu. Hall came onto the field as a substitution in the 87th minute and scored in the 88th minute to make the score 2–2 against CF Montréal.[citation needed]
