He made his professional debut on 8 March 2016 as a substitute in a 2–1 victory against Bristol City.[5] The following month he made his second and final appearance for the club when he came on as a substitute against Blackburn Rovers.

Hunte was loaned out to League Two club Stevenage at the start of the following season,[6] where he made a total of six appearances, scoring once, before returning to Molineux. It was announced on 13 January 2017 that Hunte's contract with Wolves had been terminated by mutual consent.[7]

On 10 August 2017, he signed for Isthmian League South Division club Greenwich Borough.[8]

On 20 May 2018, Hunte signed for National League South club Billericay Town.[9] Hunte was loaned out to Dulwich Hamlet on 22 March 2019 for the rest of the season.[10] The deal was made permanent on 14 June 2019.[11]
