Chorley FC are delighted to confirm that Kole Hall has signed on with the Magpies following his recent departure from Vanarama National League North side, Chester FC.
Born in Bermuda, Hall made the move over to England in his youth and first spent time in football here with Tranmere Rovers' academy side. The 25-year old had spells with City of Liverpool, Radcliffe, AFC Telford United, Altrincham and Nantwich Town before plying his trade with Chester from the 2022/23 season.
Hall spent two seasons under Calum McIntyre's reign, making 40 appearances and scoring five goals. Having found his starting opportunities limited, the towering center forward went out on loan to fellow Vanarama National League North side, Scarborough Athletic - scoring twice in nine matches.
In the 2023/24 season, Hall played against the Magpies twice, both appearances being a full 90 minutes and was a constant threat in both fixtures for the respective opposition.
Hall has been capped at international level with Bermuda, making eight appearances for them to date - scoring once and has returned from international duty this week to now sign on the dotted line with the Magpies.
Manager, Andy Preece, had the following to say upon completion of the deal.
"Kole is a player I’ve come up against on a number of times and always thought he was someone I’d like to work with.
He has all the attributes to be a top striker. We just need to help him put it all together. He’s an international and played well in the recent friendlies.
I’m going to enjoy working with him as he’s a hungry lad who fits our profile.
He’s strong, mobile and is very good technically, great characteristics in a striker.
Another exciting player with huge potential."
