Hunt Training With Town - Ipswich Town News
TWTD understands that former Wolves winger Stephen Hunt is spending this week training with Town at Playford Road. Hunt, 32, is a free agent having left Molineux in the summer.
Ireland international Hunt is a player Mick McCarthy was interested in signing early in the summer, but we understand that the midfielder is currently only with the Blues to keep fit, a move to Blackpool recently having broken down due to his wage demands.
McCarthy took Hunt to Molineux from Hull City for £3 million in August 2010 and he was a regular in his side for the next two seasons.
The ex-Crystal Palace, Brentford and Reading man missed much of last season due to calf and hernia problems before returning to action in March but couldn’t prevent his former club from plummeting into League One.
Earlier today, Hunt's former Wolves team-mate Sylvan Ebanks-Blake was again linked with a move to Portman Road.
