Tributes have flooded in following the death of former Northampton Town player Freddy Hall.
According to reports, Hall died following a car crash in his native Bermuda. It is believed the incident happened on Sunday. Hall was aged just 37.
Hall, a goalkeeper, spent the 2011-12 campaign in League Two with Northampton, playing three games for the Cobblers. He would later enjoy brief spells at Chester, Oxford City and AFC Telford before going on to win the Irish First Division title at Limerick. He returned to Bermuda in 2018 and he won 11 international caps for his country during his career, featuring in several World Cup qualifying games.
A tribute was posted on Northampton Town's website on Tuesday saying: "Cobblers Past and Northampton Town Football Club are deeply saddened to learn the passing of former goalkeeper Freddy Hall, aged just 37.
"Freddy played College football at Boston before transferring to Quinnipiac University in 2006. He won 2 NCAA statistical awards leading the NCAA Division One men's team in saves percentage and saves per game. He was also one of ESPN Soccernet's top ten goalkeepers of 2010. Freddy was offered a trial at Charlton in 2009 but opted to finish university graduating in May 2010.
"In July 2010 he was offered trials with Plymouth after his mentors Clyde Best and Paul Scopes arranged the trials. He played in some pre-season friendlies but was not offered a contract. Freddy played three times for Northampton Town in the 2011/12 season, Hall made his Cobblers debut in an away game against Morecombe on 7 January 2012 after new signing Shane Higgs suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in training. After leaving Northampton Town, Hall played for Oxford City and AFC Telford. Our thoughts are with Freddy's family and friends at this very sad time."
A Limerick tribute said: "Freddy served the club with distinction during his time here. The club extends its sincere condolences to Freddy's family at his tragic passing."
Telford also posted a tribute which said: "All at AFC Telford United are saddened to hear of the death of our former keeper Freddy Hall. Freddy joined the club in Oct 2014 playing under Liam Watson & Steve Kittrick during our season in the Conference Premier. All our thoughts are with Freddy's family and friends."
During his career Hall also played in the MLS for Toronto FC. He joined them in July 2012 and made his debut in a glamour friendly match against Liverpool. That exhibition match was the first game of Brendan Rodgers' reign at Anfield, with Hall pulling off a clutch of saves to ensure his side earned a credible 1-1 draw against the Reds.
