In 2014 he was part of the Leeds team that won the Challenge Cup and was the winner of the Lance Todd Trophy.[3][4]

Early years

Hall joined the Leeds Academy in 2006 after being spotted playing for amateur club the Oulton Raiders by former Leeds coach John Daly. Daly contacted the then Academy boss John Bastian, who quickly invited Hall to the club for trials. He made eight appearances for the Junior Academy team in his début season, before quickly being selected for the Senior Academy team. He made eleven appearances for the Senior Academy team & scored three tries, including the Senior Academy Grand Final victory over Hull F.C..

Professional playing career

2000s

Hall made his Super League début coming off the bench at the 2007 Millennium Magic weekend at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff in the controversial 42-38 victory over Bradford Bulls. Hall made his first start a fortnight later in the defeat at Hull F.C. & went on to make nine first team appearances in 2007, scoring three tries. He was not selected for Leeds 33-6 2007 Super League Grand Final victory against St. Helens though.

In 2008, Hall made sixteen appearances & scored nine tries, including a try in the 24-16 2008 Super League Grand Final victory, again against St. Helens.

In 2009, Hall became a regular in Leeds' first team as the team went on to win their third Grand Final in a row, 18-10, again against St. Helens. Hall ended 2009 as the season's top try-scorer, with 31 tries in just 30 games in all competitions. He was named Young Player of the Year, as well as runner-up in the Player of the Year award. Hall received the Rugby League International Federation's Rookie of the Year award for 2009.[7]

2010s

In 2010, Hall scored 31 tries in 33 appearances & was named in the Super League Dream Team for the second year in a row and featured in the 2010 World Club Challenge, and 2010 Challenge Cup Final for Leeds.

He earned a place in the England squad for the 2010 Four Nations tournament and although injury ruled him out of the first Test against New Zealand, he returned for the final game against Papua New Guinea. He also represented England in their 60–6 win over France.[5]

Hall played on the wing for Leeds in the 2011 Challenge Cup final, scoring two tries in the loss to Wigan.

Hall was also selected for the 2011 Four Nations, scoring 2 tries against Australia at Wembley in a 20–36 loss.

On 17 February 2012 Hall confirmed his standing as one of the premier wingers in rugby league when he scored 2 tries – including a 95-metre intercept try – and was named man-of-the-match in Leeds' 26–12 defeat of Australian champions Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles in the 2012 World Club Challenge played at the home venue of Leeds, Headingley.[8] Throughout the year he showed outstanding form, which earnt him the award of being named the 'World's Best Winger'.[9]

In 2013, Ryan was selected to help England's causes in the 2013 Rugby League World Cup. He was one of the best players in the tournament, earning himself a place on the wing in the RLIF team of the year. He scored eight tries in five matches for England. He has now scored 21 tries in 20 games for England which is a new record.[10]

In 2014, Ryan signed a new five-year deal for the Leeds Rhinos. In the 2014 Challenge Cup final, Hall scored two tries as Leeds beat Castleford, 23–10, and was voted the winner of the Lance Todd Trophy.[11]

In November 2014, Hall played in the 2014 Four Nations. He was England's top try scorer in the tournament, scoring three tries. He scored his fifth try in four test matches against Australia, and he scored a double against New Zealand.

In October 2015, Hall was picked in a 24-man England squad to play against New Zealand in a three-match test-series. Beforehand though, England played a test match against France in Leigh. Hall scored two tries in a match where England would go on to dominate their opponents and thereon create a new record for the biggest winning margin against the 'Les Tricolores'.

The following year, Hall was picked in England's 24-man squad for the 2016 Four Nations. On 22 October 2016, Hall extended his England try scoring record, scoring another two tries against France in Avignon. In the Four Nations, Hall scored one try in each of England's games to keep his try scoring record for his country in as many appearances.

In 2017, Ryan continued his try scoring form for his country in a mid-season test match against Samoa in Australia. Later in the year, he was selected as a part of England's 24-man squad for the 2017 Rugby League World Cup.
