Aylesbury born striker/centre forward Robert Hall has been with West Ham United since 2003 and signed professional forms in October 2010. He has represented England at Under 16, Under 17, Under 18 and Under 19 level and looks to have a great future in the game.
This season the 18 year old has spent time on loan at League Two Oxford United where he made an immediate impression with his pace and mobility and scored the only goal in his debut match which was a 1-0 victory over Dagenham and Redbridge. He went to make 11 appearances (2 as a substitute) scoring five goals during two loan spells for the U's.
Hall was recalled to West Ham United just prior to Christmas and made his debut for the East London side coming on as a 79th minute substitute on the New Years Eve defeat at Derby County.
Hall came on as substitute for England Under 19's against Denmark in November and scored the winner to mark a successful few months which included his loan to The Kassam Stadium.
Hammer's manager Sam Allardyce has many options up front with Sam Baldock, Carlton Cole, John Carew, Freddie Sears, Brian Montenegro along with deadline day signings Nicky Maynard and Ricardo Vaz Te (at the time of writing it is reported Vaz Te will be moving to join his former boss at The Boleyn Ground) so Hall's first team chances may be limited in the immediate future.
Soccer Intelligence expects to see Hall loaned out to a lower league club again to aid his development into a first team player for The Hammers.
