George Hall: Port Vale midfielder ‘ready to go’ after building match sharpness

Hall has been hit by a number of injuries in his career with the 21-year missing more than three months of last season with a muscle problem while with the Saddlers.
Injury also limited him to just nine appearances in the 2023-24 campaign with Blues.
But he returned to help Walsall reach the League Two play-off final last term before sealing his first permanent move to Vale.
Hall has featured in six games in all competitions so far and is feeling pretty much there in terms of his sharpness.
“It’s that little half a second with your touch and it’s a fine margin,” he said.
“Once I get up to speed, I know my quality and what I can do to help the team.
“There’s a lot of different positions I can play and I’ve got to adapt to each one.
“When I came here I saw the quality of the squad and knew it wouldn’t be easy to start but it pushes everyone and keeps it competitive in training.”
That competition seems to have rubbed off on results and ahead of the weekend’s trip to Wigan, Hall says Vale’s uptick in form has been coming.
“Before I came the games were quite tight and we weren’t getting the results,” he added.
“But now we’re getting a bit if luck here and there and we’re putting in the performances and have got the points we deserved.”
