Blunt joined Second Division Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1908 from nearby non-league side Stafford Rangers.
He made his Football League debut on 28 November 1908 in a 1–2 defeat at Oldham Athletic.
He scored two in his second appearance (against Clapton Orient) and ended the season with 8 goals.
The 1909–10 campaign saw him score 27 goals, making him the club's top goalscorer for the season.
However, an injury in Autumn 1910 halted his exploits and effectively ended his Wolves career, though he managed one further appearance in February 1912.
