Jeremy Hall's Football Journey

College Soccer Days

Before joining a special national under-17 training program, Hall played for a local club called Hillsborough County United. He then played college soccer at the University of Maryland. While there, he helped his team win the NCAA Division I Championship in 2008.

Jeremy was a very successful college player. He was named an NSCAA/Adidas All-American twice. He was also a USYSA All-American in 2005 and a Parade All-American twice. In his three years at Maryland, he played in 66 games. He scored 26 goals and helped set up 14 others.

Starting Professional Football

Jeremy Hall was chosen in the first round of the 2009 MLS SuperDraft by the New York Red Bulls. This was a big step in his career. He played his first Major League Soccer (MLS) game on March 19, 2009. This was the opening game of the 2009 season against Seattle Sounders FC.

In his first season with the Red Bulls, Hall played in 24 regular season games. He mostly played as a right back, a defensive position. After his first season, he even got to train with Red Bull Salzburg, a team in Austria that is connected to the New York Red Bulls.

On March 20, 2010, Jeremy Hall started a game for the Red Bulls. They won 3–1 against Santos FC. This game was special because it was the first match played at the new Red Bull Arena. Later that year, on May 23, 2010, Hall scored his first goal for New York. It was in a friendly game against the famous Italian team Juventus FC. The Red Bulls won that game 3–1. On October 21, 2010, Hall played left back and helped New York win 2–0 against the New England Revolution. This win helped the Red Bulls win their second Eastern Conference title.

Moving to New Teams

On November 22, 2010, Jeremy Hall was traded to the Portland Timbers. This team was new to the MLS in 2011. In return, the Red Bulls received a draft pick. Hall was a regular starter for Portland. However, he was traded again on August 19, 2011, to FC Dallas. This trade involved midfielder Eric Alexander.

Hall was traded once more on November 29, 2011, to Toronto FC. He made his debut for Toronto as a substitute. His first professional goal came on June 20, 2012, against Houston Dynamo. That game ended in a 3–3 tie.

In December 2014, Toronto traded Hall to the New England Revolution. He played in 12 games for New England in 2015.

On February 8, 2016, Hall signed a one-year contract with his hometown team, the Tampa Bay Rowdies. This team played in the North American Soccer League (NASL). Later that year, on July 21, 2016, Hall joined United Soccer League side Sacramento Republic on loan. He later joined Sacramento Republic permanently.

On July 31, 2021, Jeremy Hall became the first player to sign for 1812 FC Barrie. This club was just starting in the League1 Ontario league.

Playing for His Country

Jeremy Hall was part of the U.S. Soccer Residency program starting in 2003. He played 22 games for the U-17 team. This included games at the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship in Peru. He started six games there and scored one goal against the Ivory Coast U-17 team. He also played for the United States U-20 team.

In May 2016, Hall was called to play for the Puerto Rico national football team. This was for a friendly game against the United States. Hall could play for Puerto Rico because his grandparents were from there. He helped Puerto Rico reach the third round of the 2017 Caribbean Cup. This meant they were close to playing in the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup for the first time.

He continued to play for Puerto Rico in other matches until 2018.

Becoming a Coach

After his playing career, Jeremy Hall moved into coaching. In March 2022, he joined the coaching staff for Minnesota United FC 2. This team plays in the MLS Next Pro league. In April 2024, Hall was promoted to become the head coach for the team.
