Career

Hughes broke out in 2014 by entering the world's top ten and reaching the final of the prestigious Winmau World Masters. He defeated Alan Norris 3-2 in the quarter-finals from 2-0 down, and Martin Adams 6-5 in the semi-finals from 5-2 down, also surviving ten match darts in the ninth set. Hughes was eventually beaten 7-3 by Martin Phillips having led 2-0 and thrown for the third set. In December of that year, Hughes won the prestigious Zuiderduin Masters on his first appearance at the event, surviving six match darts in the semi-final against Tony O'Shea before beating Gary Robson 5-0 in the final, losing only three legs in the whole match.
