Stallion Laguna F.C.

International career

Months later in June, Hall was called up once again by then Azkals Coach Hans Michael Weiss for the Philippines’ training camp in Bahrain for the second round of the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. Once added to the squad, Hall started both friendlies for the Azkals against the Bahrain U-23 National Team playing central midfield.[13][14][15] Hall suited up for the Philippines once more in the CTFA International Tournament in 2017.[16][17][18] He picked up two official senior national team caps under Coach Marlon Maro as they went on to place second overall in the tournament.[19]
