Kevin Hunt (born in Chatham, July 4, 1975) is an English professional football player.
Hunt started his career with Queens Park Rangers. He has also played for Gillingham, Hong Kong Rangers and in Singapore. In 1998, Hunt made his debut for Bohemian. Hunt quickly established himself as a dominant force in the Eircom League, helping to steer a struggling Bohemians side away from relegation to the Eircom League First Division.
The following season Bohemians evolved into one of the leading forces in Irish football, with the club coming close to the league title and losing in the FAI Cup Final in a replay.
The following season, 2000/01, Hunt became club captain and led Bohemians through the greatest season in its history. In the early season Bohemians progressed in the UEFA Cup, with impressive results including victories in Scotland against Aberdeen and in Germany against Kaiserslautern, before guiding the club to its first league title since 1978. One week later Hunt led the team out in Tolka Park for the FAI Cup Final, which Bohemians won, capping a historic Double for the club.
While the 2001/02 season was disappointing for the champions, Hunt earned a runners up medal in the FAI while in the following season he won his second league winners medal as Bohemians impressively won the league from start to finish.
