Connor Hall (born 23 May 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for EFL League Two club Port Vale.
[6] He started his senior career at Bury Town in the 2011–12 season after being encouraged to join the club by Willingham-based coach Dean Greygoose.
[7][8] He had a trial at Leyton Orient in 2012[9] and at the age of 21, he was set to sign for Cambridge United after being scouted towards the end of the 2012–13 season, but the deal was cancelled as a result of a groin injury that kept him sidelined for 18 months.
[10] He missed the entire 2013–14 season, with the club in decline due to financial problems and soon to lose long-standing manager Richard Wilkins, but Hall decided to stay on upon his recovery.
[11][14] Bury Town manager Ben Chenery noted Hall's hard work and later said that "he played centre-half, central midfield and left-back for us and was seamless in every one of those positions".
[16] Kevin Wilkin's "Saints" qualified for the play-off semi-finals, but were defeated by Spennymoor Town in a penalty shoot-out following a 0–0 draw at St James Park.
[4] He played 33 league games before the 2019–20 season was halted and ultimately decided on goal average due to the COVID-19 pandemic in England, with the "Sulphurites" qualifying for the play-offs.
[2] He scored Harrogate Town's second goal in the play-off final as the club would go on to be promoted to the Football League for the first time in their history with a 3–1 victory over Notts County.
[3] He made his Football League debut on 5 September 2020 in a 1–1 draw against Tranmere Rovers in the EFL Cup, in which Harrogate won 8–7 in the resulting penalty shoot-out.
[32] He was dropped from the starting eleven following a loss of form in September, with Dan Jones playing in his stead, but regained his place the following month.
[41] Hall spoke out in favour of new manager Danny Cowley the following February after the side put together a four-match unbeaten run to pull away from the relegation zone.
