Blunt was blooded by Howard Wilkinson, along with Harry Kewell and Mark Jackson, after the Coca-Cola Cup debacle at Wembley against Aston Villa in March 1996. Kewell started the game but the other two came off the bench. Lucas Radebe had pulled on the Goalkeeper’s jersey after John Lukic was unable to continue at Half-Time and Jason took his place in midfield. He played a full game against Southampton but after starting against Nottingham Forest in the next home fixture he was substituted and never started in the first team again. He went on loan to Raith Rovers in March-May 1998 before joining Blackpool on a free in July 1998. He was not able to progress with the sea-siders and left in March 1999. He played in Australia and with Guiseley before he next joined Scarborough in March 2001 and after making almost seventy appearances he left for Yeovil Town in February 2003, but stayed only a week, before joining Doncaster Rovers where again he couldn’t establish himself and after a dozen games he left for Tamworth in October 2003. He played over thirty games before he left for Halifax Town in September 2004. He left in May 2005 and later played with Alfreton Town and Scarborough once more, then was player/manager at Sutton Town before joining Goole Town in 2007.
