Tomas Hal Robson-Kanu is a former Premier League and international footballer, entrepreneur and media pundit.
Enjoying a 14 year professional playing career, Hal made over three hundred league appearances and received 46 caps for Wales.
Hal formed part of the team that helped Wales reach the semi-finals of the 2016 European Championships, having not qualified for 57 years. In the Quarter Final match against Belguim, Hal scored a sensational goal that went on to be awarded Goal of the Tournament.
In league football, Hal had two spells in the Premier League, first with Reading and then with West Bromwich Albion, where he ended his career in 2021. During his second stint at Reading he played an integral part in their 2011–12 Championship winning campaign.
