Following the speculation suggesting that right-back Jack Hunt was in Bristol yesterday to undergo a medical at City, his permanent switch to Ashton Gate was confirmed by Sheffield Wednesday a short time ago this morning.

The 27-year-old joined Wednesday initially on a loan spell from Crystal Palace in the summer of 2015 and in the following January he completed his permanent switch to Hillsborough. Across both spells, the player made a total of 108 appearances for the club and more than played his part in our back to back Play-Off campaigns in 2015/16 and 2016/17 before our form took a decided turn.

The club themselves obviously wish him well for the future as he moves on and although fans were mixed, it seems the vast majority were happy to thank him for his service and his 100% attitude when it came to his efforts on the pitch – compared to some other players that won’t be mentioned, he certainly stood out on that front.

Of equal, if not bigger concern in reality, where exactly is Jos Luhukay when it comes to strengthening the group especially if we’re moving on experienced players to save overburdening the club’s wallet this season?

That, of course, continues to be a huge concern for fans with the season edging ever nearer.
