Lewis Hall is a professional footballer who plays for Newcastle United and England.

Newcastle United have been forced to rein in their spending over the last 18 months in order to comply with PSR restrictions.

Thankfully, however, they managed to get Lewis Hall in through the door before a break on the wild spending was put in place.

The exciting full-back has been a crucial part of Eddie Howe’s improving side, combining defensive solidity with a wicked delivery from the left flank.

Here is everything you need to know about him.

Who is Lewis Hall?

Lewis Kieran Hall is a left-back who is shining for Newcastle United.

Like his good friend Tino Livramento, Hall started his career in the youth ranks at Chelsea. He joined the London club’s academy when he was just eight years old.

Hall impressed at Stamford Bridge and made it all the way to the first team, making his senior debut in January 2022, becoming the club’s youngest ever starter in the FA Cup at 17 years and 122 days. He even marked the occasion with an assist.

Despite continuing to impress, winning the club’s Academy Player of the Year award in 2023, Chelsea decided to move Hall on in a bid to boost their standing with PSR.

He initially joined Newcastle on a season-long loan, but the club were obligated to buy him the following summer.

Hall has continued to impress ever since and has been one of Howe’s most consistent performers.

How old is Lewis Hall?

Hall was born in Slough, Berkshire, England, on September 8, 2004. As of October 2025, he is 21 years old.

It’s easy to forget he’s so young, given he’s an already established and fantastic Premier League operator.

How tall is Lewis Hall?

Hall stands at 5’10” tall, making him of average height in the UK.

However, he seems much taller on the pitch thanks to his tenacious tackling and tireless battling that rattles opposing wingers.

Lewis Hall kit number

Hall wears the No.3 shirt at St. James’ Park, having upgraded to the number in the summer of 2025.

He initially wore No.20 during his first two seasons at Newcastle, but was given No.3 in recognition of his position as the club’s first-choice left-back.

How much does Lewis Hall earn?

Hall is reportedly paid £41,000 a week, which works out at £2.13m a year.

That puts him at the lower end of Newcastle’s wage structure, but he will surely be in for a significant pay rise when his contract is next renewed.

How much did Newcastle pay for Lewis Hall?

After initially signing him on a season-long loan from Chelsea, Newcastle paid £28m to sign Hall permanently.

The figure could rise to £35m if certain clauses are met, which is likely given his quality.
