Career
Hughes was drafted by Richmond at pick 24 from South Australian National Football League (SANFL) club Norwood in the 2005 National Draft. Hughes played a handful of senior games in 2007 with a highlight being his three-goal effort against reigning premiers West Coast Eagles in a 21-point loss. He also managed to score three goals in the round 6 match against Geelong, however the Tigers were thrashed by 157 points on the day.
If there was any indication Hughes would be the future replacement for Matthew Richardson it was in the Tigers round 13 clash against Portuguese Adelaide at AAMI Stadium.
After being delisted by Richmond, Hughes briefly returned to Norwood Football Club before joining Queensland Australian Football League (QAFL) team Southport Football Club in 2010. Hughes was also an exceptional cricket player in his youth, having made the Australian Under-17 development side in 2003/04 as right arm fast bowler.
His district cricket club in South Australia was Kensington Cricket Club. Hughes is also currently modeling for Viviens Model Management in Melbourne and Sydney.
He is signed internationally with agencies in Milan (2morrow Models), London (Supa Models), Hamburg (Promod), Munich (Talents Models) and Prague (Agents Models).
