Portsmouth’s League One rivals land Sheffield Wednesday defender as Peterborough star has Wrexham interest
The latest speculation from around League One as the summer transfer window enters its final fortnight.
One of Portsmouth’s League One rivals have swooped to sign a defender that helped his former club to promotion from the third tier last season.
Bristol Rovers have agreed a two-year deal with free agent Jack Hunt after he left Sheffield Wednesday last month following the Owls promotion into the Championship. The 32-year-old made 26 appearances last season and came off the bench as Wednesday claimed a play-off final win against Barnsley in May.
He will now join Rovers as they look to build on a solid start to the season after they claimed two draws and a win from their first three games of the league campaign.
