Bermudian international striker Kole Hall has been officially retained by National League North side Chorley FC for the upcoming 2026-27 campaign.
The 27-year-old forward moved to Victory Park in June 2024 and enjoyed an impressive debut season with the Magpies, netting 12 goals in 39 appearances throughout the 2024-25 competition.
However, Hall's progress was cruelly halted when he was sidelined for the entirety of the 2025-26 season after suffering a serious, unexpected medical condition upon returning from international duty.
Following an extended period of rehabilitation, the club has reached a new agreement to support the frontman as he steps up his workload toward full match fitness.
The global football community rallied around the striker during his illness, with a GoFundMe campaign organized by the Magpies Trust raising over £10,000 to assist with his medical expenses. Hall has expressed his immense gratitude to the supporters and officials at Chorley, as well as the wider public, for the overwhelming waves of support.
Chorley manager Andy Preece expressed his delight at securing Hall’s services for another year, emphasizing the forward's unique quality when firing on all cylinders.
"Kole has had a frustrating season with illness and injuries," Preece said.
"We know if we can keep him healthy he is one of the best strikers in the league. He offers an all-round threat which is hard to find at any level."
With the contract finalized, Hall is eager to pull the shirt back on and spearhead the Magpies' attacking line as they look ahead to the new league campaign.
