Hall played every available minute this season for the Black Knights and was a favourite among fans and teammates having arrived as a two-time A-Leagues Champion during his time with the Central Coast Mariners.
“It’s been an incredible two years for me in Auckland, and the journey the boys and I have been on is something I’ll never forget,” said Hall.
“I’m truly grateful to be able to leave the club on top and bow out as part of the club’s first Championship-winning side.”
“My teammates, the staff and most importantly, the fans, have really made Auckland feel like home over these past two years, and it has been a pleasure to go to battle for the city which has supported me so much.”

“He has been a joy to work with, and he will be deeply missed next season.”
Auckland FC CEO Nick Becker added: “It’s been a privilege to have Dan at the club, and we wish him well in his future.
