Early career
Born and raised in the city of Nelson on New Zealand's South Island, Hunt attended Nelson College in his hometown where he enjoyed a successful time, playing 51 times for their rugby team's first XV. He moved north to study engineering at the University of Auckland after graduating high school and began playing local club rugby in the Auckland area. During his time in Auckland, he was a member of the Blues development squad and Auckland's national sevens team.
Senior career
Hunt made the Auckland squad for the 2015 ITM Cup and netted 10 points in 7 games as his side reached the competition's final before going down to Canterbury. He returned home to Nelson in 2016 and turned out for the Tasman Makos. Playing mainly in the number 15 jersey, Hunt started all 12 of the Makos games during the season which again saw him finish on the losing side once again in the final, with Canterbury once more coming out on top.
Super Rugby
Just 7 appearances in his debut season of provincial rugby were all it took to convince the Christchurch-based Crusaders that he was worthy of a Super Rugby contract. He made their senior squad for the first time in 2016 and made 2 substitute appearances during his debut campaign. He was subsequently retained in the squad for the 2017 Super Rugby season.
Best known for his cool and calm approach at critical times, he is affectionately known as "Clutch" amongst his team mates. An example of this is his 51m drop goal, taken from an impossible position and 3 minutes into overtime to win the match against the Highlanders in 2017. Arguably, one of the greatest drop goals in the history of Super Rugby.
International
Hunt was a member of the New Zealand side which won the 2015 World Rugby Under 20 Championship in Italy, scoring 33 points in 5 games.
Career Honours
