On 6 January 2011, Gold Coast United coach Miron Bleiberg addressed the speculation that the talented player may leave the club however Bleiberg was adamant that the player was contracted for another two years and unless a sizable transfer offer was made the player would remain at Gold Coast.[3]

He had a stand out season for Gold Coast. He played 17 games and scored four goals. Halloran had a great game against Adelaide United, where he scored one goal and received the match ball for a best on ground performance.

Brisbane Roar

Following the demise of Gold Coast United at the end of the 2011–12 season, Halloran attracted a lot of interest from Melbourne Victory, Brisbane Roar and "at least three other A-League clubs"[4] for his services for the 2012–13 season. On 13 May 2012, it was announced that Brisbane had signed Halloran on a three-year deal with the 2011–12 Champions.[4] In Halloran 's seventh match for the roar he would score his first goal against Sydney FC. Halloran would have a quieter year than the one before but played more matches.

Halloran started 18 matches but was forced to come on as the substitute 10 times. Halloran scored four goals in his time at Roar including the winning goal in the 83rd minute against Adelaide United. After the match his Manager, Mike Mulvey said "Ben needs to be more of a team player", which Halloran understood.

Ben would play the entire match on the right wing in the 2–1 win. Halloran scored his first goal for Düsseldorf's first team in his sixth appearance, and in the 70th minute, with the goal equalizing the score and snatching a point for his team.[6]
