Hunter, who started out in the Victorian Football Association with Footscray, played as a defender and spent most of his time at full-back. He was a late withdrawal due to a leg injury from Essendon's 1923 Grand Final team and missed the premiership but made up for it the following season when they went back to back, Hunter was a regular Victorian interstate representative.
Hunter transferred to Albury in 1928 and captain-coached them to the Ovens & Murray Football League premiership that year. He also coached the Ovens & Murray Football League side against Victoria in Wangaratta in 1928 too.
He returned to Essendon for one final season in 1929.
After retiring as a player, Hunter concentrated on his coaching career and had stints at both Yarraville and Preston. He was joint coach, alongside Dick Reynolds, of Essendon for two games in the 1939 VFL season, both of which they won.
