Hunter was born in Birmingham, West Midlands.[1] He began his career with Bristol Rovers, firstly as an unused substitute in a second round Football League Cup tie against Leyton Orient on his 16th birthday.[2] In 2012, it was reported that Premier League clubs Fulham, Liverpool and Manchester City were all interested in Hunter.[3] He made his professional debut in a 2–1 defeat against Exeter City on 3 August 2013.[4] He left Rovers in December 2013 due to disciplinary problems.[5] In September 2014 he joined Mangotsfield United, before having a brief spell with Bristol City, although he failed to make any first team appearances for them.[6]
He spent the 2016 pre-season on trial with Bath City,[6] eventually signing a one-year deal at the club.[7]
Hunter attended De Montfort University in Leicester, graduating with a Masters of Business Administration MBA. In 2019 he founded soft-drink company "Sip Shack" that as of September 2021 had reached 250,000 sales nationwide.[8]
