The 22-year-old forward had already experienced a difficult campaign at National Three (North) strugglers Macclesfield when he answered an SOS from Ovenden Park.
However, on arriving in Calderdale he discovered that even in adversity, his new teammates were still united and determined to salvage some pride from a disastrous National Two campaign.
"It was quite a difficult situation, coming from Macclesfield who are in a similar position in the league below Halifax," said Hall
"I expected to find a team that are fairly down in terms of morale so it was a surprise to find that everyone was very upbeat.
"There is a very compact team spirit at the club which is really good to see and now be a part of."
The opportunity to join Halifax came at a good time for Hall, who was frustrated at his lack of first team action at Macclesfield, who he had joined at the start of the season from Sedgley Park.
"I wasn't getting a lot of first team chances at Macclesfield and I had spoken to the coach and expressed my concerns," added Hall.
"I was in the first team squad a lot and played about 10 or 12 games, but that was it.
"I knew Rhys was looking for some players because I share a house with (Halifax hooker) Rob Townsend.
"I had a call from Richard Szabo one Monday night and he told me about the situation.
"As I wasn't happy about the lack of chances at Macclesfield I told the coach there about Halifax and he had no problems with me leaving and wished me the best of luck.
"I came down to training to see what it was like and what the players were like. Everybody had a positive attitude given the situation so I just got stuck in."
Although Hall has only played two games for Halifax he has noticed the increase in standard between the two divisions.
"I have played in cup games at this level for Sedgley Park but never a league game so I sort of knew what to expect," Hall said.
"In terms of the physicality it is a steep learning curve and a baptism of fire.
"But it is all about handling yourself and doing as well as you can."
While at Macclesfield, Hall played alongside former Halifax centre Richard Hughes, although the Cheshire county player had no direct bearing on his decision to come to Ovenden Park.
"Richard Hughes had some good words to say about Halifax, but that was only in passing," added Hall
"I know he had some good times at the club but he didn't have any bearing on my decision."
Hall is hoping to make an impression in the five remaining games in the hope that he can extend his stay with Halifax.
"I want to commit to a club and I thought Macclesfield was going to be it," he added.
"But that didn't go as planned and when you're not happy somewhere it's time to move on.
"I fully intend to stay at Halifax - I have no intention of club hopping.
"The secret is definitely going to be keeping the core of these players together.
"Having played National Three I know that if they can retain 90 per cent of the players and bring some other good local players in then Halifax should do very well.
"While we have to continue playing with pride and passion, the focus is switching to next season where, hopefully, we can start winning some matches."
