Aaron Hunt

Aaron Hunt (born September 4, 1986, Goslar) is a Germany footballer who is currently on trial at Werder Bremen.

Career

He made his Fußball-Bundesliga debut on September 18, 2004, as a substitute against Hannover 96. On his first appearance in the starting line-up against Borussia Mönchengladbach on February 12, 2005, he scored his first league goal, becoming Werder Bremen's youngest-ever goalscorer at the age of 18 years and 161 days. Early in
2006, Hunt suffered a mysterious knee injury, which after some months was found to be Bursitis. As a result, he missed the remainder of the season following the winter break.

On March 3 2007, he added another stone in building his so far very promising career, bagging a hat-trick in the Bundesliga against VfL Bochum, the outcome being precisely 3-0.

He is a joint English-German national, having a German father and an English mother, but has stated that he would only ever play national football for the Nationalmannschaft. He is a current Germany national under-21 football team.

Scandal

In November 2006 he was charged by UEFA for serious unsporting behaviour after complaints of racist remarks by Under 21 players in a game against his mother's native country. Hunt was banned for two games. However, he successfully appealed the decision shortly thereafter and the ban was dropped.
