Jack Paul Hunt (born 6 December 1990) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for Sheffield Wednesday. Though primarily a right back, Hunt can also play on the right of midfield.
Having joined up with Huddersfield Town at the age of nine, Hunt went through the club's academy system, starting in May 2008 and signed his first professional contract with the club in April 2009.
Having previously appeared as an unused substitute for Lee Clark's first team on four occasions throughout the 2009–10 season at Huddersfield Town, Hunt signed a contract extension with Huddersfield Town in March 2010.
After his loan spell at Chesterfield came to an end, Hunt made his Huddersfield debut as a substitute in the 0–0 draw against Colchester United at the Galpharm Stadium on 22 January 2011. He then made his first start for the club in their 2–1 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup on 30 January 2011, which was then followed by his first league start in the 2–0 win over Carlisle United on 1 February 2011. He scored his first goal for the club against Peterborough United on 9 April 2011, in the last minute to salvage a 1–1 draw. Hunt finished the 2010–11 season, making twenty appearance for the club.
Hunt's first start in the 2011–12 season came against Port Vale in the League Cup on 9 August 2011. He scored with a 25-yard shot to put Huddersfield 3–1 up - they won 4–2 on the night. His first league start of the season came four days later in a 2–2 draw away at Rochdale on 13 August 2011. He scored his first league goal of the 2011–12 season against Leyton Orient on 24 September, he made the score 2–0 with a shot from 20 yards – the game ended 2–2. Due to his overall performance of the course of the season, Hunt, along with his teammate Jordan Rhodes, were voted into the PFA League 1 Team of the Year. Hunt scored his third goal of the season on 12 May 2012, in Huddersfield's play-off semi-final away victory over Milton Keynes Dons at Stadium MK giving Huddersfield a 2–0 win going into the second leg. He then played the full 90minutes plus extra time in the final as Huddersfield Town went on to win promotion after an 8-7 penalty shoot-out win over fellow Yorkshire club Sheffield United with Hunt scoring the 17th penalty of the shootout. Following the club’s promotion to the Championship, Hunt signed a one-year contract extension.
