Hughes began at Old Trafford in September 1946, but could not get into the first team and moved to Altrincham in August 1950. After only six games for the Cheshire club, he joined Leeds in September 1950. Hughes, the former Manchester United junior, was pitched into the Leeds first team within a day of signing from Non-League team. Although his initial games were as a left-winger, he played some games at left back as cover for Grenville Hair in 1951-52 before fading from the scene in June 1952.
