Club career
Born in Rotherham, Hughes joined Cambridge United's youth setup in 2007, aged 15, after a stint at Scunthorpe United. 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, but struggled to appear regularly as a starter. On 21 November 2012 he was loaned to Corby Town for a month, and after scoring three goals in three 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. He played his first match in the Football League on 16 August, starting in a 1–2 away loss against Portsmouth. After his contract with Cambridge United was cancelled by mutual consent on 30 January 2016, Hughes signed for Inverness Caledonian Thistle of the Scottish Premiership two days later.
In June 2016 he joined Barrow.
