The 21-year-old forward scored in The Terriers 1-1 reserve game draw against Port Vale on Tuesday afternoon but manager Peter Jackson has confirmed that he will not be offering the player a deal.
"Ben Hunter did ok, but I will not be offering him a contract," Jackson told the clubs official website.
"He has a deal waiting for him in America and I could not guarantee things would work out here for him, so I thought it was only fair to be up front with him."
