Career

Wall was born in Liverpool and started his career with Blackburn Rovers as a youth player joining at under-14 level.[3] In the summer of 2015 he signed his first professional contract after completing his scholarship with the academy.[3] [4] In November 2015, he joined Northern Premier League Premier Division side Skelmersdale United on a one-month youth loan.[5] In the summer of 2016 he was released by Blackburn and joined League Two side Accrington Stanley on a one-year contract following a trial.[3] He was recommended to the club by former Blackburn teammate and Accrington player John O'Sullivan.[3] He made his first team debut for the club in August 2016 as a second-half substitute for Sean McConville in the 3–0 defeat to Crewe Alexandra in an EFL Trophy group-stage match.[6] After struggling to break through into the match-day squad, he returned to Skelmersdale for a second loan spell in September 2016.[7] In February 2017, he was sent out on loan again, joining Northern Premier League Division One North side Clitheroe on a short-term deal.[8] He made a total of seven appearances in all competitions during the loan spell, scoring twice in a 4–3 away win over Ramsbottom United.[9] In March 2017, he was on the move again joining Northern Premier League Premier Division side Marine on loan until the end of the season.[10]

He then joined Welsh Premier League side Bangor City. In July 2018 he joined Stalybridge Celtic. He left the club in October 2018. He then played for Curzon Ashton.

In early October 2019 he joined Witton Albion[11] before he moved at the end of the month to Altrincham.[12] In February 2020 he joined Warrington Town.[13] After a brief spell at the club, he moved to Gibraltar in June that year to sign for Boca Gibraltar.[14] After scoring a penalty on his debut against St Joseph's on 18 October, he secured his first career hat-trick the following week in a 6-1 win over College 1975.[15] However, on- and off- the field problems saw Boca expelled in December 2020.[16] In February 2021, he joined league rivals Lincoln Red Imps. In August 2021 he signed for Warrington Rylands. In November he left the club to sign for Widnes.

In June 2022 he signed for Cymru Premier club Bala Town.[17]
