HUNTINGDON goalkeeper Ryan Hunt has recently returned from a trip coaching youngsters in Basserdorf, Switzerland.
Hunt was invited on the trip by Bolton Wanders coach Fred Barber, who has coached him for a number of years, and was accompanied by Bury keeper Neil Edwards and Southampton coach Malcolm Webster.
