Jack Hunt, the 35-year-old former Sheffield Wednesday right-back, has completed a short-term move to League Two side York City, who were recently promoted from the National League. In an interview marking the switch, Hunt reflected on his time at Wednesday, describing the club's 2016 Championship play-off final defeat as the "best worst" day of his career — a moment of heartbreak he says shaped him as a player and person.

Hunt made 180 appearances across two spells at Hillsborough, with his standout moment coming in May 2023 when he scored the penalty that completed a dramatic play-off comeback, widely regarded as one of the greatest in the competition's history. Of the 2016 final loss, he said it "made some amazing memories but unfortunately we fell short," adding that "you only learn from your mistakes" and that the experience helped his development. At York, Hunt — who has made 552 career appearances — says he is targeting promotion and hopes to use his experience to mentor the club's younger players.
