Rovers' Head of Youth Ken Oram has described Hunter as a 'gifted player with great one-on-one ability. He is definitely a player who will excite'. I'm personally very pleased we've been able to acquire Shaquille's long-term future with the club, despite the interest from the top division, and it's great to see a local lad coming through our system and earning himself a contract. We've seen other young players with talent come through but not make an impact, however under McGhee each player will get a chance because, as he said when he took the job, 'if he's good enough he's old enough'. In this case Hunter has the quality to make a significant impact in our side and could be the ready-made, homegrown replacement for Mustapha Carayol should the winger move on.
I'm pleased that he sees his future with Bristol Rovers and now, alongside the release of the fixtures, I'm beginning to get very excited for next season. It's the first in a long line of business that needs to be done this summer and hopefully this will kick it all off.
