Clough has lined up a short-term deal for Hunt after seeing Fredrik Stoor return to Fulham.[LNB]Hunt is well down the pecking order at Bolton and has not featured in the first-team this season.[LNB]The 26-year-old spent a spell on loan at Birmingham last season and Bolton are prepared to farm him out again.[LNB]Clough is optimistic of tying up a month's loan for Hunt as he looks to provide cover for Paul Connolly at right-back.[LNB]"We hope he will be joining us for a month but until these things actually get signed we cannot confirm it," Clough told the Derby Evening Telegraph.[LNB]"We only have the one right-back, in Paul Connolly, now that Fredrik Stoor has gone back to Fulham, so it is a position we want to cover and strengthen.[LNB]"He (Hunt) has Premier League experience and is desperate to come and play football because he has been frozen out a bit at Bolton.[LNB]"We will give him that opportunity for four weeks and we will see from there.[LNB]"When everyone is fit, we are covered in every other position apart from right-back and if Paul Connolly is having a bad time we need that option to do something."[LNB][LNB]
