About Jeff Hughes

Midfielder/forward Jeff Hughes played 618 minutes with the Riverhounds last season, appearing in 12 games and adding one assist in 2008. Before signing with Pittsburgh, he was on Cincinnati’s 2006 squad and played for the Wilmington Hammerheads in 2007. Hughes, a native of Covington, Kentucky, set several area records for goals scored while playing for Holmes High School. During his senior season, he set the Region record for goals scored in a season and was voted 2001 Northern Kentucky Player of the Year. After high school Jeff chose to play soccer for NCAA Division I Western Michigan University, and then later transferred to the University of Cincinnati at the end of his sophomore year. However, after one season with the Bearcats, Hughes left the college ranks and forfeited his remaining NCAA eligibility to play professionally. Originally he signed with the Second Bundesliga club TSV 1860 München, but soon after, he returned to the US and found a home with the USL Second Division’s Cincinnati Kings. Jeff was traded to the Hammerheads in 2006 and played in Wilmington during the 2007 season.
