Blues in Hunt For Leeds Striker - Ipswich Town News
Town are reported to have made a move to sign Leeds United striker or wideman Noel Hunt on loan. In September, TWTD revealed that manager Mick McCarthy had shown interest in the 31-year-old - Blues winger Stephen Hunt’s younger brother - in the summer.
According to the Yorkshire Evening Post the Blues have made an approach to sign the Ireland international ahead of Thursday’s 5pm emergency loan deadline.
Hunt junior started his career in Ireland with Shamrock Rovers and with hometown club Waterford United, where he had a spell on loan, before moving on to Scotland where he played for Dunfermline and Dundee United.
Capped three times by Ireland, Hunt joined Reading in July 2008, before following his former Royals’ boss Brian McDermott to Elland Road in the summer of 2013.
Hunt, who is out of contract at the end of the season, has made only one start and one sub appearance so far this season, both in the opening week of the campaign.
Overall, he has made 14 starts and eight sub appearances for the Whites without scoring having missed much of last season, due to injury.
Meanwhile, Darren Bent has completed his move from Aston Villa to Brighton on an initial one-month loan.
