Julian Zakrzewski Hall (born March 24, 2008) is an American soccer player who plays as a forward for Major League Soccer club New York Red Bulls.

Hall is a graduate of the New York Red Bulls Academy and he signed with the New York Red Bulls first team in late 2023 after spending most of the season with their reserve affiliate, New York Red Bulls II, in MLS Next Pro. That season, he became the youngest debutant in New York Red Bulls history, and the following season he became the second youngest goalscorer of all-time in Major League Soccer.

Early career

In 2020, Hall joined the New York Red Bulls Academy and played in the academy for three years, where he scored 28 goals in 39 matches played for Red Bulls Academy. He led the Red Bulls U-15's to win the 2023 U-15 MLS NEXT Cup for the first time in academy history, he scored five goals during the tournament and won the U-15 MLS NEXT Cup MVP Award.

On June 19, 2024, Hall became the second youngest MLS goalscorer behind Freddy Adu; Hall came onto the field as a substitution in the 87th-minute and scored in the 88th-minute to make the score 2–2 against CF Montréal.[6]

On February 21, 2026, Hall scored his first brace for the senior team in a 2–1 win at Orlando City on the opening matchday of the 2026 season.[7] The performance saw him named Player of the Matchday.[8][9]
