radford City manager Peter Taylor has completed a double swoop for Stoke striker Louis Moult and free agent defender Lewis Hunt. Promising youngster Moult arrives on loan from Premier League side Stoke until January 3 and provides Taylor with the extra attacking option he has been looking to bring to the club. The 18-year-old finished last season as the Potters' top goalscorer at reserve level and his obvious goalscoring ability saw him rewarded with a professional deal back in March, with a Premier League appearance coming as a substitute against Burnley in the same month. Hunt arrives at Valley Parade predominantly as a right-back although he can also operate at the heart of defence. The former Wycombe and Southend defender, 27, who has been on trial with City, has signed a one-year deal with the possibility of a further year should he make an undisclosed number of appearances this term. Elsewhere, Bradford have been handed a bye into the second round of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, meaning their involvement in the competition will now start in early October.
