A lot of Sheffield Wednesday fans have reacted positively on Twitter to the news of their club being in talks with Jack Hunt.
Hunt previously spent three seasons with the Owls with a season on loan from Crystal Palace coming before a permanent move to current club Bristol City the following summer.
Will Sheffield Wednesday come back up?
Yes!
No!
The right-back made 108 appearances for Sheffield Wednesday before he was sold to the Robins in 2018, the same club he left following the expiration of his contract this summer.
A whole host of Sheffield Wednesday fans have shown their positivity to the news on Twitter.
What have these Sheffield Wednesday fans had to say?
“OMG YES PLEASE! When he left us before I was adamant that I’d have kept him over Palmer and that was for Championship. Now. Jack Hunt in league 1! Even better. Get signing lad”
“Experience – knows the club – would take him for league 1”
“He’d do a good job, we never replaced him in the first place”
“He’s gonna be an absolute monster in league 1 I’m all for this not a big fan of ex players coming back but I can let this one slide”
“What a signing this will be”
“No-brainer if it can be done”
“Please please let this be true.”
Darren Moore is yet to spend some money this window, with his three signings consisting of one loan deal and two free agents, but bringing in another free agent would not be bad business given the Owls’ precarious financial situation.
At 30 years old, Hunt is a Championship veteran having managed 294 appearances in the competition as well as 68 in League One, which could suggest if he’s willing to drop into England’s third tier, it could be a wise move from the Owls.
