Scout report
R. Hunt is a 31-year-old central midfielder at Colchester, rated 13.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 201st of 254 on scout potential in the League Two. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (37.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.22 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hunt.
Judged on this season alone, Hunt graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 28th of 48 of the 48 central midfielders in the League Two, on 1 goal, 0 assists and 2.218 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 21 → 13). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 40th of 48 of the 48 central midfielders in the League Two. At 31 Hunt is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Colchester finished 19th of 24 · a lower-table side
2.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 10 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (19th of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 37.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 13.8, Hunt carries the 40th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League Two of 48 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.22 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
