In March 2015, Hall achieved the world record for lifting the weight of 462 kg (1,019 lb 72.8 st) in the deadlift. In 2014, Hall reached the final for the first time, coming second in the Squat Lift event and ultimately finishing sixth.

In April, Hall also featured on BBC One's Watchdog programme, who enlisted his help to test even the strongest of drivers in specific circumstances.
Hall competed in his place and came in eighth place. However, he was given a second chance when Ervin Katona was forced to retire due to injury. In April 2013, Hall failed to qualify for Europe's Strongest Man 2013. In 2012, Hall competed at the World's Strongest Man competition, but did not progress beyond his qualifying group. This was held at Headingley Carnegie Stadium, home of the Leeds Rhinos rugby league team and Hall found himself competing alongside six of the ten finalists from World's Strongest Man 2011, including two-time World's Strongest Man, Žydrūnas Savickas. Later, in April 2012, he was invited to compete at Europe's Strongest Man, another Giants Live event. He placed fourth in his first taste of international competition. Winning the UK title meant that Hall became the first choice to replace Jono MacFarlane of New Zealand in the Giants Live Melbourne event in February 2012, when the latter suffered a back injury. However, his improved ranking could only guarantee a spot for 2012, and he did not compete at WSM in 2011. Hall tore tendons in an arm during the competition, but was hopeful of a spot at the World's Strongest Man in September.

His win was helped by setting a new national record in the "Viking Hold", hanging on to 20 kg (44lbs) axes in each hand at full stretch for one minute and 18 seconds. Hall finished first at the UK's Strongest Man 2011 competition in Belfast, with Ken Nowicki in second and Rich Smith in third.
