Ryan Samuel Brunt (born 26 May 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a forward for League Two club Exeter City.
Born in Birmingham, West Midlands, Brunt started his football career with Bristol City's youth team before joining Stoke City's academy in 2010. Brunt began well at Stoke scoring a hat trick against Walsall reserves in September 2010. However Brunt missed most of the 2010–11 season after suffering a cruciate knee ligament injury. After recovering from his injury Brunt joined Northern Premier League Premier Division club Nantwich Town on loan and his first appearance for them was in the FA Cup first round against Milton Keynes Dons which Nantwich lost 6–0. Whilst still out on loan at Nantwich, Brunt played and scored in a reserve match for Stoke against Rotherham United. He impressed watching Luton Town manager Gary Brabin who signed Brunt on a month's work experience on 16 November 2011. He made six appearances for Luton before returning to Stoke after an extension could not be agreed.
On 27 January 2012, Brunt joined League One club Tranmere Rovers on a one-month loan. He made his Football League debut as an 85th-minute substitute in a 1–1 draw at home to Huddersfield Town. He scored his first professional goal with a low shot from a Martin Devaney cross in a 1–1 home draw with Charlton Athletic on 18 February 2012. Brunt extended his loan with Rovers for a second month.
