"People probably thought because of the business that SuperSport United and Mamelodi Sundowns have, people think that there was agreement. No, I came here on a free transfer. I had a mutual agreement with Sundowns to terminate (my contract) and I came to SuperSport (as a free agent)", he added.
Hunt has confirmed that Lyle Lakay will play as a midfielder at SuperSport and not as left back where he excelled during his stint with Sundowns.
