Club career
Bolton Wanderers
Hunt made his professional debut as a substitute for Colin Hendry in the First Division match against Sheffield United on the final day of the 2000–01 season, shortly before Bolton won promotion to the Premier League. He had to wait some time for further first team opportunities, only playing in two FA Cup ties (against Sunderland in January 2003) before making his breakthrough at the start of the 2003–04 season when he became a key part of the defence and a first-team regular for Bolton. His Premier League début came in the 4–0 defeat at Manchester United on 16 August 2003. He has now made over a century of appearances for the club, scoring one goal against Liverpool in February 2004.[1] His form earned him a four year contract at Bolton, taking him until the end of the 2010–11 season, which he signed on 30 August 2007.
Birmingham City loan
The departure of Sam Allardyce to Newcastle United and his eventual replacement with Gary Megson saw Hunt fall out of favour at the Reebok Stadium and he was subsequently loaned out to Championship side Birmingham City on an emergency one-month loan deal as cover for the injured Stuart Parnaby and Stephen Kelly on 3 November 2008.[2] He made his debut the same day, in a 1–0 defeat to Coventry City at St Andrew's.[3] The loan was later extended for a further month.[4] On 30 December, a 24-hour recall clause in the loan agreement was invoked and the player returned to Bolton.[5]
Derby County loan
Despite being recalled Hunt played no further role for Bolton in the ensuing year and was again loaned out to a Championship side, this time Derby County on 7 January 2010 as competition for the club's sole available rightback Paul Connolly.[6] Although initially on a month's loan, on 25 January this was extended until the end of the season.[7]
Bristol City
On July 30, Hunt agreed a two year deal with Championship club Bristol City. He made his debut in the sides 0-3 loss to Millwall.
International career
Hunt won ten England U21 caps, the first in February 2004 against the Netherlands.
