Former Town European scout Simon Hunt has joined George Burley at Derby County as chief scout. Hunt was let go at the end of 2002/03 with Joe Royle feeling that a European scout was an unnecessary luxury for the Blues.
Ex-Town boss Burley says Hunt knows the continental game well: "Simon has bags of experience. He is a great acquisition because he has exceptional knowledge of the marketplace in Europe.”
Prior to joining Town Hunt was manager at Swedish club Kalmar. He had moved to Scandinavia as a player in the mid-eighties after leaving Wrexham.
