LONDON, Jan 4 (Reuters) - China's Unipec, the trading arm of Asia's largest oil refiner Sinopec, has hired two former traders from commodity trader Noble Group to join its middle distillates desk in London, according to two sources with knowledge of the matter.

Shaun O'Donnell and Anup Kundaiker began their new jobs on Wednesday, according to one of the sources.

Unipec also hired Ross Warden, formerly part of Noble's distillate operations desk, as a blending operator, one of the sources said.

Sinopec could not be reached for immediate comment.
