JACK HALLAHAN | midfield
A former Republic of Ireland U19 International who joined the Pitmen from Coalville Town in November 2018
A player equally at home in midfield or up front, Redditch native Hallahan started his career as a junior at West Bromwich Albion, signing his first professional deal with the Baggies in the summer of 2015. It was whilst at West Brom that he made two appearances for the Irish U18 in 2014, followed by nine appearances for the U19 side the following year. After a season in their reserve side and a clutch of appearances in the U23 Premier League, Hallahan moved to the United States in the summer of 2016 to turn out for college side Michigan Wolverines. Playing as a forward, Hallahan scored at a rate of nearly one goal a game, before returning to the UK to sign forms with Burton Albion
After agreeing a permanent deal with the Brewers later on in the season, Hallahan extended his deal with the club in the summer of 2017 and was loaned out to Evo-Stik Division One neighbours Belper Town for a month in December 2017. This deal was extended twice until April 2018, with Hallahan released by the Pirelli Stadium side in July 2018
Upon his release, he linked up with Evo-Stik Southern Premier League side Coalville Town, playing a handful of games for the Ravens before linking up with the Pitmen in November 2018 under Francino Francis. Despite the comings and goings around Keys Park during the early part of 2019, Hallahan remained in the plans of Nicky Eaden and made eight starts for the club as they comfortably avoided relegation. Hallahan struck his one and only goal of the season in spectacular style against Grantham in March 2019 to help them to a crucial 2-1 win
In June 2019, Hallahan followed in the footsteps of a number of last season's squad in agreeing a new deal for the forthcoming Southern League Central season
