Hunt began competing in PDC events in 2011 and won his first tournament in his second month, beating Josh Jones 4–2 in the final of the opening youth tour event of the year.[2] In 2012 he qualified for the UK Open for the first time and defeated Steve Maish 4–2, before losing 4–1 to Arron Monk in the second round.[3] A year later he reached his first quarter-final on the Pro Tour at the first UK Open qualifier where he lost 6–1 to Michael van Gerwen.[4] Hunt then won a Challenge Tour title with a 4–2 victory over Ricky Evans and advanced to the semi-finals of the World Youth Championship, where Michael Smith eliminated him 6–3.[5][6] He went one better in the UK Open than last year as he lost in the third round 9–8 against Kevin McDine having led 4–1.[7] Hunt's performances on the Challenge Tour saw him finish fourth on the Order of Merit to earn a two-year PDC tour card from 2014.[8]
After the 2016 World Championship Hunt was 71st on the Order of Merit, narrowly outside the top 64 who remain on tour.[17] He therefore entered Q School, but could not advance beyond the last 64 on any of the four days to fall off the tour.[18] He therefore had to build his year on Challenge and Development Tour events winning one of each. He beat Dean Reynolds 4−2 in the fourth Development event and Jamie Bain 5−3 in the sixth Challenge event.[19][20] Hunt also lost in the final of the sixth Development event 4−2 to Ross Twell.[21] He was the number 5 seed for the 2016 PDC World Youth Championship but lost 6-5 in the first round to Sven Groen.
2017
Hunt finished third on the Development Tour Order of Merit, winning one event as well as being a three time runner up that year. By finishing third, he earned a two-year PDC Tour Card for 2018/2019 due to 2nd placed Dimitri van den Bergh already possessing a Tour Card by virtue of being in the world’s top 64. He was the number 4 seed for the 2017 PDC World Youth Championship but lost 6-2 to Josh Payne in the second round.
