Grant Hall

Lewes

After leaving Albion, Hall joined Conference South club Lewes. He was training with the first team as a 16-year-old, helped the under-18s reach the third round of the FA Youth Cup, and made his senior debut on 25 November 2008 in the Sussex Senior Cup. Hall signed for Sussex County League club Whitehawk on a dual registration basis, in order to get playing time in men's football, but instead he started for Lewes in the FA Trophy in mid-January 2009, made his debut in the Conference Premier a few days later, against Mansfield Town, and finished the season with five Conference appearances, of which four were in the starting eleven. Hall played three times in the Conference South and twice in that season's FA Cup, as well as trialling with Gillingham and appearing for Brighton & Hove Albion's youth team.

Brighton & Hove Albion

On 6 October 2009, Brighton & Hove Albion signed Hall on professional terms to the end of the season. He went out on loan twice, a month at Isthmian League Premier Division club Bognor Regis Town and a month back at Lewes, disrupted by a thigh injury sustained while training with his parent club, and was a member of the Brighton reserve team that won the Sussex Senior Cup. His contract was extended for at least another year. During the 2010–11 season, Hall had spells out on loan at Whitehawk, who were then playing in the Isthmian League Division One South, and another month as defensive cover at Lewes.

Hall indicated that he would be likely to accept a call-up for the Republic of Ireland national team if asked.

Grant Terry Hall was born in Brighton on 29 October 1991. His father, Terry, and brother, Craig, both played football at county level, and Hall himself played for AFC Jelfish and Hove Rivervale before joining Brighton & Hove Albion's centre of excellence at the age of 11 or 12. At 16, he was not offered a scholarship, which he attributed in part to his natural shyness. He attended Cardinal Newman Catholic School, Hove, and City College Brighton and Hove, where he spent time at the college's Football Development Academy and considered training as a PE teacher.

Hall has two children with former glamour model Chloe Goodman. They married in the Algarve, Portugal in June, 2024.
