Championship rivals Cardiff City and Blackpool are battling it out to sign free agent right-back Jack Hunt, according to Football Insider.

The 30-year-old was one of many players who were released by Bristol City at the end of the 2020-21 season in Nigel Pearson’s big reshuffle at Ashton Gate, and that was despite making 41 league appearances last season.

Hunt has plenty of Championship experience with Huddersfield Town, Sheffield Wednesday and Bristol City but finds himself without a club for the first time in his career.

The Seasiders have just one right-back in their squad right now in the form of Teddy Howe, with Ollie Turton departing for Huddersfield Town and Jordan Gabriel returning to Nottingham Forest at the end of his loan spell, whilst the Bluebirds signed a right-back in Perry Ng from Crewe back in January.

Not sure if this makes sense unless Sang is going to play further forward, with NG at full back

Always felt he was a perfect name for a bluebird.

Unfortunate name.

Not sure we need another right back though and he's not as good as Ng.

Unless we loan out Sang, it doesn't make much sense.

Ned I believe that he has played quite a lot as a right sided midfielder!

I never have a name on a shirt, but would have this one! And make sure the h fell off

Thank god his first name is not Isaac.

Are we automatically linked with every player who's ever left or been released by Bristol City?

Which reminds me we havent heard any news on Marley Watkins so perhaps his trial was unsuccessful?

Rather think we shouldn't be signing Bristol City rejects and won't be. I would be slightly amazed if we signed either him of Watkins.

I was hoping we signed Hunt instead of Brayford
Could be a good signing if he hasn't slowed up too much since then

Well rated a few seasons ago - One to watch they said ....But times move on - can he still do it

Doubt he is signing now if the statement from MM is true. Our budget has been reached, but on the bright side that means no Marley Watkins either.
