Sheffield Wednesday thanked as ex-Huddersfield Town and Barnsley FC man Jack Hunt joins Stockport County
Jack Hunt has thanked Sheffield Wednesday for keeping him ticking over after finding a new club.
The 34-year-old has had three spells at Hillsborough and has been back training in S6 as a free agent in recent weeks.
It was strictly a training brief, but allowed him to keep fitness levels high ahead of a move back into the game.
He has now been recruited by League One table-toppers Stockport County and has a chance to hit the ground running.
Jack Hunt thanks Sheffield Wednesday
After putting pen to paper on a short-term deal at Edgeley Park, the Huddersfield Town academy product said: “First and foremost, I need to say thank you to old my club Sheffield Wednesday. I’ve been back in there now for about eight weeks.
“The management and the staff have been amazing with me, helping me keep fit. Being out of contract at this time of year, everyone presumes it will take you a while to get up to speed. That’s not the case because I do feel really good and raring to go.
“I’m really happy. It’s come around quite quickly but the ambition of the club matches how I see football and how it should be played, and I’m really excited to get going on Thursday night.
“It’s really exciting for me to come into a club like County that’s got so much ambition and it does align with how I think football should be played.”
Jack Hunt’s career path
Hunt is a well-known figure across Yorkshire and made 104 appearances for Huddersfield after ascending the club’s youth ranks.
He later had spells at Barnsley and Rotherham United, and racked up 180 outings across three spells at Wednesday.
The experienced full-back had been a free agent since the end of the 2024/25 season, when he was released by Bristol Rovers.
