A player with links to Fiji has signed for A-League club Central Coast Mariners for the 2020/2021 season.

According to the club’s website, 21-year-old Dan Hall joined the Mariners Academy in the middle of 2018 and has quickly established himself as one of the National Premier Leagues’ premier young defenders.

Hall first played football in China as a six-year-old with other expats as his family moved there for work before they relocated to Brisbane a few years later.
