Career
[edit]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]
