[edit] Career

[edit] Crewe Alexandra

Lunt is one of many players to emerge from the Crewe Alexandra Academy - alongside Dean Ashton, Rob Hulse and Danny Murphy - nurtured by manager Dario Gradi.

Lunt has completed more than seven years of first team football, and was previously club captain at Crewe (replacing David Brammer, sold to Stoke City on a free transfer) - a role he shared with Steve Foster.

During Crewe's 2002-03 season in the Football League Second Division Lunt headed the rankings of goal assists. He is also adept at free-kicks from distance, scoring several spectacular goals from outside the penalty box. During his time at Crewe, Lunt racked up over 400 appearances for the club.

Like other Crewe players, Lunt attracted attention from other clubs, including Leeds United, Reading and some Premiership clubs.
