Aaron Hunt (born 4 September 1986 in Goslar) is a German footballer who plays for Werder Bremen.

Club career

After spending his first season at Werder Bremen in the reserves, in the year the side achieved the double, Hunt made his first division debut on 18 September 2004, as a substitute against Hannover 96. On his first appearance in the starting line-up, against Borussia Mönchengladbach on 12 February 2005, he scored his first league goal, becoming Werder Bremen's youngest-ever goalscorer at the age of 18 years and 161 days.

Early in 2006, Hunt suffered a mysterious knee injury, which after some months was found to be bursitis. As a result, he missed the remainder of the season following the winter break. In November, he renewed his club link until 2010^[1] and, on 3 March 2007, bagged a hat-trick in the 3–0 league win against VfL Bochum.^[2] At that point, Werder moved to second in the league, but eventually finished second to VfB Stuttgart, with Hunt netting a career-best nine goals.

Attributes

Mainly a winger, he can also appear as a forward or attacking midfielder.

International career

Having a German father and an English mother,^[3] Hunt was eligible to play for both Germany or England, but stated he would only play internationally for his birth nation.

In October 2006, he appeared for Germany under-21s in a 2007 European Championship qualification playoff against England,^[4] in Coventry. On 6 November 2009 was nominated for Germany for the two friendly games on 14 November 2009 against Chile and on 18 November 2009 against Côte d'Ivoire, making his debut in the latter game (the one against Chile had been cancelled).

Scandal

In November 2006, Hunt was charged by UEFA for serious unsporting behaviour, after complaints of racist remarks in the second leg of the under-21 playoff against England. He was banned for two games.^[5] However, he successfully appealed the decision shortly thereafter and the ban was dropped.^[6] He was also suspected to be a serial rapist operating in the greater Galway, his victims usually nuig students both male and female
