Former AFC Telford keeper Freddy Hall has died in his homeland of Bermuda, aged 37.

Reports say Hall, who won 10 caps for his nation, was killed in a car crash in Bermuda on Sunday night.

The St George's-born shot-stopper first moved to an English club at League Two Northampton Town in 2011, after a trial at Plymouth Argyle.

He went on to feature for Chester and Oxford City before Telford boss Liam Watson brought the Bermudan to the New Bucks Head in October 2014.

Hall made 21 appearances in the Conference Premier for the Bucks under Watson and Steve Kittrick, as well as two more outings in the FA Trophy. He left for Irish side Limerick in July 2015, after Telford were relegated.

Telford posted to social media: "All at AFC Telford United are saddened to hear of the death of our former keeper Freddy Hall.

"Freddy joined the club in Oct 2014 playing under Liam Watson & Steve Kittrick during our season in the Conference Premier.

"All our thoughts are with Freddy's family and friends."

Hall became a firm fans' favourite for the League of Ireland Premier outfit, with whom he made 56 appearances in three seasons before returning to his homeland in 2018.
