Hall returned to the United States in early 2009, and signed with Houston Dynamo. He made his first start for Dynamo on July 1, 2009, in a Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup third round game against USL First Division side Austin Aztex, which Houston won 2-0. Hall also played in Houston's 4-0 quarterfinal win over the Charleston Battery.

Hall made headlines when he became the second goalkeeper in MLS history to score a goal in a 2009–10 CONCACAF Champions League game against Isidro Metapán on October 23, 2009.[4] He made his MLS debut against DC United and earned a shutout in a 2-0 victory.

Hall was named to the 2011 MLS All Star team and started in the All Star Game against Manchester United. In 2012, Hall set a Dynamo record with 12 regular-season shutouts.[5] Hall was again an MLS All Star in 2013.

During his time in Houston, Hall collected the team's Ironman Award by logging the most minutes for the 2011 and 2012 season.

For the 2013 season, Hall was awarded the Most Valuable Player award.

Hall tore his ACL on August 29, 2014.[6]

On October 28, 2014, it was announced that Hall was traded to new MLS franchise Orlando City SC.[7]

Returning from his ACL injury, he made his first Orlando City start on May 17, 2015.[8]

During the 2015 season at Orlando City, Hall made some fantastic saves to keep his team in games.[citation needed] Due to his hard work, he was awarded with save of the month in July 2015.[citation needed]

Brought in to be one of the team leaders, Hall wore the captain's armband multiple times throughout the 2015 season.

For his outstanding performances, Hall continued to win accolades, earning the Fan's Most Valuable Player award, the team's Defender of the Year and the Golden Molino Award.

International

Hall trained with the United States U-23 men's national soccer team[3][9][10] but did not see any game action. He was called up to the full United States national team for the January camp in 2012 and 2013. Hall was also called up for a World Cup Qualifying game in Jamaica, in 2013, and was on the game day roster.
