Jeff Hughes, born in Covington, Kentucky, United States is a midfielder currently playing for American USL Second Division side Wilmington Hammerheads.

Growing up in Northern Kentucky, Hughes 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 UC 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 the situation did not work. He returned to the US and found a home with the USL Second Division team Cincinnati Kings. During the 2006 season, the Kings traded Jeff to the North Carolina based, Wilmington Hammerheads.
