Romain Gall (/ˈroʊmən ɡɔːl/ ROH-mən GAWL;[1] born January 31, 1995) is an American soccer player who plays for Malmö FF.

Youth[]

Gall was born in Paris, France, to a French father and a Senegalese mother.[2] Gall moved to the United States with his family at the age of seven. The family settled in Herndon, Virginia, and Gall received his U.S. citizenship at fifteen.[3]

Gall played for the academy teams of D.C. United and Real Salt Lake before joining the academy of FC Lorient in 2011. Ranked as the #2 recruit in his class, he committed to playing college soccer for the University of Maryland, but instead opted to play with the reserves at Lorient.[4]

Club career[]

Gall signed with Major League Soccer in August 2014 and was allocated to the Columbus Crew via a weighted lottery. He made his professional debut in a 3–0 victory over the Houston Dynamo on August 23. He was loaned to the Austin Aztex in the United Soccer League, wearing the number 9.[5] Gall was waived by Columbus in February 2016.[6]

On March 31, 2016, Gall joined Nyköpings BIS in the Tier 3 Division 1 Norra in Sweden.[7] After one season in Nyköping, Gall caught the eye of Allsvenskan club GIF Sundsvall, who signed him to a three-year contract.[8] Gall made 24 league appearances in his first season with Sundsvall. After a breakout performance in the spring of 2018, where he scored 7 goals in 13 appearances from a midfield position, Gall secured a move to Allsvenskan powerhouse Malmö FF halfway through the season.[9]

International career[]

Gall was called up to the United States men's national soccer team on November 6, 2018 for friendly matches against England and Italy.[10] Gall made his international debut for the USMNT against Italy in a 0–1 loss on November 20, 2018, coming on as a replacement for Christian Pulisic in the 83rd minute.[11]

Personal life[]

A fan of hip hop and R&B, in his free time Gall enjoys making music on his computer.[12]
