Liam Michael Hughes (born 10 August 1992) is an English footballer who plays for Cambridge United as an attacking midfielder.

Club career

Born in Rotherham, Hughes joined Cambridge United's youth setup in 2007, aged 15, after a stint at Scunthorpe United. Initially a defender, he was reconverted to a more attacking role during his time at the Academy, and made his first-team debut on 9 November 2010, coming on as a late substitute in a 1–1 home draw against Grimsby Town.

On 4 April 2011 Hughes signed a two-year professional deal with the U's,[1] but struggled to appear regularly as a starter. On 21 November 2012 he was loaned to Corby Town for a month,[2] and after scoring three goals in three matches he returned to Cambridge.

Hughes renewed his link with the club on 30 January 2014, penning a new 2 1⁄2-year deal.[3] He played his first match as a professional on 16 August, starting in a 1–2 away loss against Portsmouth.[4]
