Paul Huntington was signed by Dennis Wise on deadline day 31 August 2007.
Although he had made a few appearances for Newcastle United in the Premier League and Europe he was seen as one for the future.
Paul only started fewer than twenty games last season but they did include the play-off semi-finals and the Wembley play-off final under Gary McAllister's leadership. He was also the 2007-08 runner-up in the Fans' Young Player of the Year Award.

So can Paul do better in 2008-09? Well it seems McAllister still has faith in him as he gave Paul the Leeds United captain's armband for the pre-season friendly against Shelbourne FC. A match in which Leeds didn't impress but Huntington scored Leeds' only goal in a 1-1 draw! Quite a night for Paul an an indication that McAllister sees great leadership potential in the youngster.
Further confirmation came in August when Paul was rewarded with squad number 3 for the 2008-09 League One season.
