Bermuda’s number one goalkeeper Freddy Hall has set his sights on earning another professional contract in England, now that he is no longer a Toronto FC player.Hall was released by Toronto in December, just prior to manager Paul Mariner’s dismissal by the club, and has been back home assisting his boyhood club, St. George’s, as assistant coach. And while the struggling Premier Division club could use his experience as they fight for survival, Hall ruled out that possibility as he awaits contact from his agent on confirmation of a club in England willing to offer him a trial.“I’m in negotiation right now to go back to Europe, there are a few teams that we’re talking to so hopefully we can get something sorted before the end of the season,” Hall revealed this week. “My agent is doing his job right now. It was a good experience being there before and getting my foot into the professional arena.”Hall left England for a new start in Canada last year after being released by Northampton, for whom he made two appearances after signing a one-year contract in July 2011. Last July, Hall was given a three-week trial at Toronto and made his debut against touring English club Liverpool in a friendly match that ended 1-1. He signed a contract with Toronto on July 31 and made his league debut three weeks later in a 2-1 away defeat to Columbus Crew.However, the club’s disappointing season, which saw them end the season on a 14-game winless streak and finish with a 5-21-8 record, resulted in some personnel changes as Mariner was fired last month after Hall and several other players were released by the club. The club hired Kevin Payne as president and general manager and he quickly secured Ryan Nelson, a New Zealand-born defender with Queens Park Rangers as the new manager. Nelson previously played under Payne at DC United.“I don’t feel too bad, new management came in and things changed,” said Hall who, despite turning 28 next month, is still determined to have a successful pro career.“No, I’m not too old at all, goalkeepers go to around 35 or around that age so I’ve got years left.”Hall was first offered trials in England in the winter of 2009 with Charlton Athletic but opted to finish university the following May before pursuing a professional career. Former Trinidad and Tobago, Portsmouth and West Ham United goalkeeper Shaka Hislop, who coached Hall while at Quinnipiac University, assisted him in getting the offer to go to Charlton. Hall insists he has no regrets about the decision to delay his pursuit of a pro career which began when Bermuda Hogges co-owner Paul Scope used his contacts to get him a trial with Plymouth Argyle, then coached by Paul Mariner.“I always wanted to get my education and finish school and have something to fall back on, so I never regretted it,” said Hall. “Sometimes you have to take a different route, but I don’t feel bad about the decision at all. I talk with him (Hislop) here and there but haven’t talked with him in a while. I’m still close with him.”Depending on if and when the offer comes, Hall could be available to play for Bermuda in the upcoming Island Games to be staged here. “I’m always available to play for the country, I talked to Drew (national coach Andrew Bascome) about it,” he explained.When he last played for St. George’s the east enders were establishing themselves in the Premier Division, now their place is in jeopardy as they remain deep in the relegation zone. He admits it is difficult to watch from the sideline and not be able to assist, particularly with the club’s two main goalkeepers, teenagers Zeko Burgess and Charles Marshall, not being in the team, leaving defender Mischael Paynter to fill in as goalkeeper. On Sunday a late Southampton Rangers goal denied them a much needed victory at Southampton and they travel to that same venue this weekend for an FA Cup replay.“It’s kind of heartbreaking to an extent, I guess St. George’s are such a tight knit community and it’s sad to see them lack heart in a lot of the games,” said the ‘keeper.“But I think we can push through and avoid relegation. It’s a real talented team, they just have to play better as a team and stop making the little mistakes that are costing them. We had a stand-in goalkeeper and we are really missing our goalkeepers, but I don’t think they have the passion to be involved on a regular basis.”
