Born in the Navish town of Lillesla, Hunstad was signed by his local youth academy at age 14 where he remained throughout his teenage years. After a number of impressive appearances for the team's under-19s side, Hunstad was quickly drafted into the first-team, making his debut in 2002 at age-18 against Koloni 01. Hunstad continued to play for Lillesla until 2005 where he was snapped up by Hudenholm FK for a fee of ʂ7.2million, then a Navish record for a player under the age of 23. Hunstad remained at Hudenholm until 2007 when he moved to Brestrand SK for a fee of ʂ35 million. Hunstad reached his peak under Brestrand and won multiple honours including a [[Navsk Superliga|Superliga]] title and a Navish Cup. It was during this time that Hunstad featured regularly for the Navish national team, winning the Copa Mundial twice and netting a total of 56 times to become the country's all-time top scorer.

By 2017 however, Hunstad began to decline physically, suffering a number of injuries and a general reduction in stamina. Having retired from international football in 2015 to focus on Brestrand, Hunstad now found himself regularly starting as a substitute. Given his declining playing time, Hunstad sought to look elsewhere for opportunities for first-team football. In 2018 Hunstad elected to move on a free-transfer to Midrasian side Hellingbourg. For much of his time at Hellingbourg Hunstad played as a shadow-striker, or an attacking-midfielder utilising his ability to hold-up play and make late runs into the box. Despite an injury-hit start to his time in Midrasia, Hunstad would regularly start for the team throughout the latter half of the 2018-19 season as well as the start of 2019-20. As the season wore on however, Hunstad's physicality declined and he found himself starting on the bench more often than not.
