Career

edit

Born in Sheffield,[3] Hallam came through the Academy at Sheffield United to make his senior debut for the "Blades" in a 4–2 victory over Grimsby Town in an EFL Trophy match on 9 November 2016.[4]

On 24 February 2018, Hallam attended a trial with Norwegian second tier team Viking.[5] Approximately two weeks later he agreed to go on loan to Viking until the end of June.[6] Viking had the option to sign him permanently after his loan expired, but decided not to do so.[7]

On 23 November 2018, Hallam joined National League side Chesterfield on a one-month loan deal.[8] A day later, he scored on his debut in a 1–1 draw with Eastleigh.[9]

On 25 January 2019, Hallam joined Scunthorpe United on a free transfer.[10]

In February 2023, having recently returned from a long-term injury, Hallam joined Ilkeston Town on an initial one-month loan deal alongside teammate Mason O'Malley.[11] He was released following Scunthorpe's relegation at the end of the 2022–23 season.[12]
