Joshua Ishaele Jacob-Heron "Josh" Hunt-Laurent, commonly known as Josh Laurent, is an English football midfielder who is currently playing for Hartlepool United. He is a product of the Queens Park Rangers and Wycombe Wanderers youth systems.

Club career

Queens Park Rangers

A midfielder and occasional centre back,[3] Laurent began his career in the youth system at Wycombe Wanderers and signed a scholarship deal in 2011.[4][5] After a trial with Premier League giants Liverpool,[6] he moved into the academy at Queens Park Rangers prior to the beginning of the 2012–13 season.[1] Laurent made 20 appearances in the youth team's victorious 2012–13 Professional U18 Development League 2 campaign and played the full 90 minutes of the 1–0 win over Huddersfield Town in the final.[7][8]

Laurent signed his first professional contract in May 2013, a one-year deal.[9] Laurent continued to play in the Development Squad through the 2013–14 and 2014–15 seasons, before departing the club on 14 January 2015.[2] The departure of Laurent caused a "reaction" at Loftus Road, with the supporters questioning the club's commitment to its younger players.[10] On 23 January, Rangers' Head of Football Operations Les Ferdinand revealed that he had been unable to convince Laurent that there was a pathway from the Development Squad to the first team.[11]

Braintree Town (loan)

Laurent signed for Conference Premier side Braintree Town on a one-month loan on 17 February 2014.[12] He made the first senior appearance of his career with a start in a 2–2 draw with Kidderminster Harriers five days later.[13] Laurent won praise for his performances from manager Alan Devonshire and remained at Cressing Road for a second month,[14] before departing after his 16th appearance on 12 April.[13]

Brentford

On 14 January 2015, Laurent moved across West London to sign for Championship side Brentford on a one-and-a-half-year Development Squad deal for an undisclosed fee.[2] He made his only first team appearance in the League Cup first round versus Oxford United on 11 August, playing the full 90 minutes of the 4–0 defeat.[15] Laurent failed to feature in another first team squad before his contract was terminated by mutual consent on 1 February 2016.[16] He made 21 appearances and scored five goals for the Development Squad.[16]

Newport County (loan)

Laurent signed for League Two side Newport County on a 28-day youth loan on 19 August 2015,[17] which was later extended to 14 October.[18] He made his debut (the first Football League appearance of his career) as a 74th-minute substitute for Scott Boden in a 3–2 defeat to Leyton Orient three days later.[19] He made his first start for the club on 1 September,[20] playing the opening 73 minutes of the Exiles' shootout defeat to Swindon Town in the Football League Trophy first round.[21] Laurent was left out of incoming manager John Sheridan's first squad on 3 October and was recalled by Brentford five days later,[20] having made four appearances.[22]

Hartlepool United

On 1 February 2016, Laurent joined League Two Hartlepool United on a free transfer.[23]
