York City is delighted to announce the signing Alex Hunt on loan from League Two side Grimsby Town.
The 23-year-old central midfielder joins the Minstermen until the end of the season from the North East Lincolnshire-based side.
Hunt initially joined The Mariners on loan during their 2021/22 National League season – quickly becoming a fan favourite in his initial 18 game stint.
A product of the youth setup at Sheffield Wednesday from the age of seven, the midfielder made 17 appearances for his hometown club across the Championship and various other cup competitions.
Upon his return from the loan spell at Grimsby, he would sign a new 18-month contract with The Owls, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2023.
A League Two loan spell with Oldham Athletic shortly followed, picking up 13 appearances for Latics between January and April of 2022.
Following Grimsby Town’s return to the Football League in the summer of 2022, the midfielder was picked up for an undisclosed fee on deadline day.
Hunt has so far made over 60 appearances during his spells at Blundell Park, with 15 picked up so far this season.
Welcome to the Minstermen, Alex!
Subject to league and FA approval.
