Hall played Second Division football for Tottenham Hotspur, and finished the 1938–39 season as the club's joint top-scorer (with Johnny Morrison) with 11 goals. During World War II, he guested for many clubs across the country: Port Vale, Short Brothers, Norwich City, Luton Town, Charlton Athletic, Chelsea, Reading, Millwall and Watford. After the war finished he returned to Joe Hulme's "Spurs", and helped the White Hart Lane club to a sixth-place finish in 1946–47.
