Hunt moved on from Chesterfield to Tottenham Hotspur in June 1930 for a £1,500 fee. He spent seven seasons with the club, and was a prolific goalscorer. He was the club's top scorer for three consecutive seasons, from 1931–32 to 1933–34, and his 32 league goals in 1932–33 helped Tottenham gain promotion to the First Division. His form dipped, but he still took his totals to 138 goals from 198 appearances in League and FA Cup, and remains, , sixth in Tottenham's all-time scorers list.
