Career

Early career

Born in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, [2] Hunt began his football career in the youth system of Nottingham Forest. [3] After being released by Forest, Hunt joined the academy of non-league side Matlock Town. [3] In 2016, at the age of 16 Hunt was invited to train and subsequently join the academy of Mansfield Town, becoming the second NPL Football Academy graduate to sign for a professional football club. [4] [5] [6]

Hunt rejected the opportunity to remain with Mansfield Town's under-21 side, to rejoin the academy of Matlock Town with the aim of playing first-team football. [3] Ahead of the 2017–18 season, Hunt became the first Matlock Town academy graduate in ten years to sign a professional contract with the Gladiators. [3] On 9 August 2017, Hunt joined Northern Premier League Division One South side Belper Town on a short-term loan deal. [7] Hunt returned to Matlock in November 2017, and made his debut for the Gladiators against Lancaster City on 2 December 2017. [4]

Derby County

Having previously had a trial with Championship side West Bromwich Albion, [8] Hunt signed for fellow Championship side Derby County in January 2018. [9] Hunt agreed an 18-month contract with the Rams, with the club holding an option to extend the deal by a further 12 months with Hunt initially linking up with Derby's under-23 side. [10]

On 4 September 2019, Hunt joined National League side Aldershot Town on an initial month-long loan. [11] He made his debut for Aldershot in their 2–1 home defeat against Barrow on 7 September 2019, [12] and on his fifth appearance Hunt scored his first goal for the Shots in their 3–1 defeat against Yeovil Town on 24 September 2019. [13] On 10 January 2020, after an initial four-month loan deal Hunt returned to parent club Derby County having made 22 appearances for Aldershot. [14]

Carlisle United

In January 2020, having been recalled from his loan with Aldershot, Hunt signed for League Two club Carlisle United for an undisclosed fee on an 18-month deal. [15] On 18 January 2020, Hunt made his English Football League debut for Carlisle in a 1–1 draw against Oldham Athletic. [16]

On 26 December 2020, Hunt joined National League side Yeovil Town on a one-month loan deal, [17] making his debut the same day in Yeovil's 6–1 away defeat against National League leaders Torquay United. [18]

Yeovil Town

On 27 January 2021, Hunt signed permanently for National League side Yeovil Town for undisclosed terms, signing an 18-month contract. [19] At the end of the 2022–23 season, Hunt was released by Yeovil following the club's relegation from the National League. [20]
