Career
In 2012 he qualified for the United Kingdom Open for the first time and defeated Steve Maish 4–2, before losing 4–1 to Arron Monk in the second round. A year later he reached his first quarter-final on the Pro Tour at the first United Kingdom Open qualifier where he lost 6–1 to Michael van Gerwen. He went one better in the United Kingdom Open than last year as he lost in the third round 9–8 against Kevin McDine having led 4–1.
2014
In March, Hunt reached the third round of the United Kingdom Open for the second year in a row, but lost 9–5 to Paul Nicholson.
Later in the month he beat Michael van Gerwen to reach the last 16 of the fourth Players Championship, where he was defeated 6–5 by Magnus Caris. At the Gibraltar Darts Trophy, Hunt beat Mervyn King 6–3 and then survived 14 match darts from Dave Chisnall to edge him out 6–5 and reach his first European Tour quarter-final, but his run came to an end as Simon Whitlock defeated him 6–2.
2015
At the 2015 United Kingdom Open, Hunt lost 5–4 to Alan Tabern in the first round. He was knocked out in the first round of the International Darts Open and European Darts Matchplay and at the European Darts Trophy he beat Krzysztof Ratajski 6–5, before losing 6–1 to Michael van Gerwen in the second round.
Hunt advanced to the last 16 of an event once this year, but he was defeated 6–1 by Mensur Suljović at the eighth Players Championship.
He therefore entered Q School, but could not advance beyond the last 64 on any of the four days to fall off the tour.
