Club career

Born in Rotherham, Hughes joined Cambridge United's youth setup in 2007, aged 15, after a stint Rotherham United, Leeds United and Scunthorpe United youth system. Initially a defender, he was reconverted to a more attacking role during his time at the Academy, and made his first-team debut on 9 November 2010, coming on as a late substitute in a 1–1 home draw against Grimsby Town.

On 4 April 2011 Hughes signed a two-year professional deal with the U's,[2] but struggled to appear regularly as a starter. On 21 November 2012 he was loaned to Corby Town for a month,[3] and after scoring six goals in five matches he returned to Cambridge.

Hughes renewed his link with the club on 30 January 2014, penning a new two-and-a-half-year deal.[4] He played his first match in the Football League on 16 August, starting in a 1–2 away loss against Portsmouth.[5] After his contract with Cambridge United was cancelled by mutual consent on 30 January 2016,[6] Hughes signed for Inverness Caledonian Thistle of the Scottish Premiership two days later.[7]

In June 2016 he joined Barrow.[8] He moved on to Guiseley in November 2017,[9] before signing for Billericay Town in February 2018.[10]

On 16 May 2018 he joined Darlington.[11]
