Hallam Robert Hope (born 17 March 1994) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward for EFL League Two club Morecambe.

[12] He made an immediate impact at Bury, netting a debut goal in a 3–0 win over former club Northampton Town at Sixfields on 29 March.

[19] He impressed head coach Stuart Gray despite only playing for just over five minutes, who said that "he showed his power and strength and willingness to run at defenders".

[22] Despite not scoring in his seven appearances for Bury that season, he signed permanently for an undisclosed fee (later revealed to be £100,000[23]) on a three-and-a-half-year deal starting at the end of his loan.

[25] However Hope struggled despite Bury being in good form – winning automatic promotion at the end of the 2014–15 season – and scored only one goal in his first 32 appearances since joining permanently; Flitcroft tried to accommodate him on the wings before bringing in veteran winger Chris Eagles and stated that Hope "has been a victim of the fine form of Leon Clarke, Tom Pope and Danny Rose".

[30] Carlisle reached the fourth round of the FA Cup, and Hope came on as a half-time substitute as former club Everton recorded a 3–0 victory at Brunton Park.

[23] Hope remained at Bury for the 2016–17 season, scoring five goals in 39 appearances as the club posted a 19th-place finish in League One under the stewardship of Lee Clark.

"[35] However Hope struggled at centre-forward and received criticism from "Blues" supporters, though by March had regained confidence and form playing as a left-sided attacking midfielder.

[41] Carlisle manager Steven Pressley suggested that the player's "head has been turned" by transfer speculation but defended him after fans began to jeer Hope following a downturn in performances.

[43] Upon Hope's departure from Carlisle, manager Chris Beech said that "he's been superb for me from the moment I came through the door" but that his sale represented a "good deal for the club".

[45] He had been a target for "Robins" manager Richie Wellens at the start of the season, who was in desperate need of a striker after loanees Jerry Yates and top-scorer Eoin Doyle were both recalled to their parent clubs.

[59] David Flitcroft, former Bury manager, was a big fan of Hope and in January 2015 said that "he adds power, speed, strength and potency to our squad".

[60] Carlisle first-team coach Paul Murray praised his work rate in training and said that "Hallam is quiet but he leads by example".

[37] He has been praised for his finishing skills, movement and aerial threat but has been crtiicised for a lack of aggression, work rate and left-foot ability.
