day later in a 2–2 draw against Hartlepool United, saving a penalty kick in a 1–0 win over Bristol Rovers on 21 February. Bunn was recalled by Blackburn at the start of March, after first choice keeper Paul Robinson suffered an injury during Blackburn's 2–1 victory against Hull City. Despite his recall Bunn failed to make any further appearances for Rovers that season. In August 2009, on the eve of the new season, Bunn joined Sheffield United on a month's loan that was subsequently extended to a six-month deal later the same month. He made his debut in United's first game of the season, keeping a clean sheet in a 0–0 draw against Middlesbrough. Bunn started the season as first choice keeper but a loss of form saw him dropped to the reserves. Following injuries to the other keepers at the club he was restored to the first team towards the end of the year and subsequently signed an extension to his loan deal, keeping him at Bramall Lane for the remainder of the season. Bunn's improved form helped to cement him as the first choice keeper for the season and he was ever present. An injury to Robinson persuaded Blackburn Rovers to invoke an early recall to Ewood Park in March, with Bunn departing having played thirty five games for the Blades. At the start of the 2010–11 campaign, Bunn changed his shirt number from 38 to 13. On 24 August 2010, he started the second round League Cup tie at home to Norwich City in a 3–1 victory. On 22 September 2010, he started Blackburn's third round League Cup game against Aston Villa in a 3–1 defeat at Villa Park. He made his Premier League debut on 28 December 2010 in a 3–1 away win against West Bromwich Albion coming on as a half-time substitute for Paul Robinson who suffered an injury during the game at The Hawthorns. February 2011, saw him sign an extension to his existing contract to keep him at the club until the summer of 2013. On Wednesday 24 August 2011, Bunn started and played the full 90 minutes in a 3–1 win over Sheffield Wednesday at Ewood Park in the 2nd round of the League Cup.
