ROB HALL


Born: 20 October 1993, Aylesbury, England
Former clubs: Oxford United (loan), MK Dons (loan)

A lightning-quick forward or winger, Rob Hall has come through the ranks at the Academy of Football after joining West Ham United at the age of seven.

Blessed with elusive ball skills, tight close control and a superb left-foot shot from all ranges, Hall has long been considered one of West Ham and England's brightest attacking prospects.

Capped regularly by his country at age-group level, Hall will be hopeful of one day earning full international honours with England.
