A number of Derby County fans have taken to Twitter to give their thoughts on the news that Max Hunt has joined Aldershot Town on an initial month-long loan, as confirmed by the Rams official website.

The Under-23s defender, who captained the side on a number of occasions last season, will link up with the National League outfit short-term in order to gain experience, and is eligible to play in Saturday’s league match against Barrow.

In his first full season at the club in 2018-19, having joined from fellow Derbyshire side Matlock Town in January 2018, Hunt made 19 appearances for Darren Wasall’s side last term, scoring one goal and chipping in with an assist.

The 20-year-old centre-back, who so far this season has started in each of the Rams’ four Premier League 2 Division 1 fixtures, links up with a side currently 20th in the National League table and which boasts two former Derby players in Alefe Santos and Aaron Eyoma (Derby Telegraph).

Here is what some Derby fans said on social media about Hunt’s temporary switch away from Pride Park:
