Hunter scored just two minutes after coming off the bench in Wednesday night’s 2-0 win over Oxford United.

The 20-year-old signed a new three-year deal on Thursday and Fleetwood’s head coach Rosler has rewarded the striker with a place in today’s starting line-up.

Hunter comes in for Devante Cole and Rosler makes one further change with Bobby Grant moving to the bench and Victor Nirennold recalled to the starting XI.

Nirennold slots into the left midfield role of a 4-3-3 formation with Hunter joining Burnley loanee Chris Long and David Ball in a front three.

Former Town player Jamie Proctor is not in the squad due to a knock sustained in Bolton’s midweek win at Bristol Rovers.

Fleetwood: Neal, McLaughlin, Eastham, Pond, Bell, Nirennold, Jonsson, Ryan, Long, Hunter, Ball. Subs: Cairns, Kip, Amadi-Holloway, Grant, Bolger, Duckworth, Cole.

Referee: Darren England
