Matt Hall, from Crickhowell in South Wales, first pulled on a Limerick jersey in 2000 and stayed with the club for the next quarter of a century. Over that time he played more than 280 games for the team across three of its names, from the Burger King and Lions years through to the UL Eagles.
Hall was part of the 2002 National Cup side and then the 2011-12 group that took both the league and the Cup in a single season. He retired as a player in 2015 as Wales' most-capped international.
Hall returned as head coach for the 2018-19 season, when the club came back to Division One as UL Sport Eagles, and he led the senior team through to 2024, reaching the Presidents Cup final that year. He then handed over to Niall McDermott, who took the Eagles to the 2025-26 double and promotion to the Super League.
