Hunt released a statement after his appointment to the club in which he admitted he will be “learning on the job”.
He said: “I’m buzzing to take this project on and appreciate all the support given so far.
“It would be great to have as many of you as possible down for match days.
“I’ll be learning on the job every day, and it isn’t going to happen overnight, but I really think this football club has potential to go far.
“Lots of sponsorship opportunities will be available as well as help needed with certain aspects of the work.
“We will also be holding trial days if you think you could play for the club.

“This is not my club. This is OUR club. UP THE CUTTERS”.
Daisy Hill were founded back in 1894 but has come under financial pressure in recent times.
