Hughes began his career with the youth team of English team West Bromwich Albion, but left without making a first-team appearance in the Football League. Failing to find a new team in the United Kingdom, Hughes moved to the Netherlands to play semi-professional football with Amsterdam-based club side Blauw-Wit. After retiring as a player, Hughes began his coaching career in 1966 with Alkmaar'54, and later managed a variety of Dutch club sides including HFC Haarlem, Go Ahead Eagles, Sparta Rotterdam, FC Utrecht, MVV and FC Volendam. While managing Haarlem in 1978, Hughes signed young player Ruud Gullit to his first ever professional football contract. Hughes released a 7" music single in 1978 called "Voetbal is Koning."
