He was instrumental in Wits’ victory in last year’s Telkom Knockout, with three goals, but scored just twice in the league before Christmas and has not played this year, with a move from Wits failing to materialise in the January transfer window.

“I chatted to him, he wanted to leave in the window, he felt he wasn’t fitting in and I said ‘okay, no problem’,” said Hunt, after Wits’ victory on Saturday evening.

“The club agreed but nothing came about. So I said ‘right, the window is closed and you need to shape up, you are good enough, that is why we signed you’.
