Early life

He was born in Southampton. Hunt started his career as a trainee at his hometown club.

Football career

After 10 years at the club, he left for Colchester United before making a first team appearance. [2] The start of his Colchester career came when he was sent off 59 seconds into his debut against Chesterfield. [3] He scored his first and only goal for Colchester in a 5–0 win over Walsall. [4] He didn't appear often in Colchester's 2005–06 promotion run-in, making only two substitute appearances, but started three games in the cups. As a result, he was sold to Notts County in June 2006. [5]

After a turbulent start that saw him nearly leave the club before playing a game, he became team captain. On 5 February 2007 Hunt signed a 2+1⁄2-year contract to keep him at Meadow Lane until June 2009. [6]

The 2009–2010 season was his best with goals against Forest Green and Wigan Athletic in an impressive F.A cup run for the magpies. That ended in the 5th round against Fulham. After playing 39 games he was part of the defensive unit that kept a club record number 26 clean sheets. Hunt was an integral part of the title winning team in the 2009–2010 season.

After subsequent interest from a handful of championship and league 1 clubs he accepted a 2-year contract at Notts County.

In May 2012 he was released by the club, along with 12 other players. [7]

Notts County Football Club is a professional association football club based in Nottingham, England. The team compete in EFL League Two, the fourth level of the English football league system, as of the 2023–24 season. Founded on 28 November 1862, it is the oldest professional association football club in the world and predates the Football Association itself. The club became one of the 12 founder members of the Football League in 1888. They are nicknamed the "Magpies" due to the black and white colour of their home strip, which inspired Italian club Juventus to adopt the colours for their kit in 1903. After playing at different home grounds during its first fifty years, including Trent Bridge, the club moved to Meadow Lane in 1910 and remains there. Notts County has a local rivalry with city neighbour Nottingham Forest, as well as with other nearby clubs such as Mansfield Town.
