In May 2019, Hall signed for National League side Harrogate Town on a two-year contract.[2] He scored Harrogate Town's second goal in the 2020 National League play-off Final as the club would go on to be promoted to the Football League for the first time in their history.[11] In response to Harrogate's victory, Hall said "It's a dream come true to play at Wembley, win at Wembley, score at Wembley".[11] He made his professional debut on 5 September 2020 in a 1–1 draw against Tranmere Rovers in the EFL Cup, in which Harrogate won 8–7 in the resulting penalty shoot-out.[12]
