His four-goal haul last month ensured Alty finished in a play-off place while taking his own personal tally for the season to 16.
Alfreton Town were first up and were given a hiding by Phil Parkinson’s men, Hulme weighing in with a goal in their 7-0 win.
That result was always going to be a benchmark. It proved to be the case as he scored against AFC Telford United three days later and then against Chorley and Hereford.
Three points against Nuneaton Borough and a point on the final day against Ashton United kept the club’s National League ambitions bubbling over for a little while longer.
Whatever path their season takes from here, you can bet your bottom dollar Hulme will have a big say in proceedings.
His manager says he’s a “class act” - and he’s not wrong.
