Town Set to Sign Stephen Hunt - Ipswich Town News

TWTD understands that Town are set to sign former Wolves and Reading winger Stephen Hunt on a short-term deal until January. Hunt, 32, has recently been training with the Blues at Playford Road.

Ireland international Hunt is a player Mick McCarthy was interested in signing early in the summer following his release by Wolves.

After a move to Saturday's opponents Blackpool broke down, Hunt joined the Blues squad for training, although at the time McCarthy played down the chances of him joining the club. More recently Hunt was linked with a move to Millwall.

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.

Hunt is likely to be in the Town squad travelling to Blackpool on Saturday.
