Speaking about Hunt&#8217;s first half of the season, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carlisleunited.co.uk\/news\/2020\/january\/contract-defender-signs-from-the-rams\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">manager Chris Beech said<\/a>: &#8220;That gave him the chance to get a taste of conference football and it&#8217;s a spell he enjoyed. He&#8217;s a big lad with a great attitude and I&#8217;m really pleased he&#8217;s joined us, because I do know that there was interest in him from other clubs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to Beech, Hunt could have remained at Pride Park instead of making the move north. He said: &#8220;I also know Derby were quite happy to retain him for another year, with a view to getting him out on loan again. For us to get him on a permanent deal in these circumstances is very good news for us now, and in the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carlisleunited.co.uk\/news\/2020\/january\/contract-defender-signs-from-the-rams\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Carlisle United website<\/a>, the manager continued: &#8220;While we understand none of us are the finished article, he&#8217;s already demonstrated that he wants to improve and progress, and the positive mental approach he has towards this next step really came across when I met him and spoke to him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hunt is joining Carlisle at a tricky time. They are currently in 21st place in League Two, just seven points ahead of the relegation zone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"PRChvCy1SqxwP1oH_-9RcQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1138120388\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'PRChvCy1SqxwP1oH_-9RcQ',sig:'L-ZSRfqotrP8e8IAwCC0CJAKuHuxgLlpbrV95oPxjgs=',w:'594px',h:'375px',items:'1138120388',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carlisle United have confirmed that they have signed defender Max Hunt from Derby County on an 18-month contract.
