Daniel Hall (born 14 June 1999) is an Australian of Fijian descent professional footballer who plays as a central defender for A-League club Auckland FC.

Club career

[edit]

Western Pride

[edit]

Hall made his senior club debut for Western Pride in 2017, scoring his first senior goal against South West Queensland Thunder. He came on as a substitute late in the 2017 NPL Queensland Grand Final, and was fouled, allowing Dylan Wenzel-Halls to score the winning goal from the resultant free-kick.[1][2]

Central Coast Mariners

[edit]

In November 2020, A-League side Central Coast Mariners signed Hall to a senior contract after Hall had previously captained Central Coast Mariners Academy.[3] Hall signed a two-year contract extension with the Mariners in June 2021.[4]

Hall was part of the 2022–23 A-League Championship winning team for the Mariners.

The 2023–24 season turned out to be another successful season, as Hall was part of the Mariners' Championship, Premiership and AFC Cup winning 2023–24 season.[5][6][7] This turned out to be Hall's final season with the club, departing at the end of the campaign.[8]

International career

[edit]

Despite being born and raised in Australia, in September 2021, Hall said that he would be "very proud" to represent Fiji and had been in contact with Fiji Football Association ahead of the OFC 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification tournament in March 2022.[9] He has yet to represent Australia or Fiji at any level.
