:"For the American soccer player, see Jeff Hughes (soccer).

Jeff Hughes (born 29 May 1985) is a footballer from Larne, Northern Ireland. He currently plays for Bristol Rovers of League One. He has also played internationally for Northern Ireland, making his debut during their summer tour of the United States of America.

Hughes played for the Ballymena United academy, before transferring to the academy at hometown club Larne. He went on to make his Irish League debut for The Harbour Rats, before moving to the The Football League in England to join Lincoln City in League Two.

He was originally deployed in the left-back position for Larne, however under John Schofield at Lincoln, he has proven that he is equally adept at playing a more attacking role as a wing-back and a winger on the left side.

After Lincoln's second-successive play-off defeat in 2007, Hughes moved to Crystal Palace of The Championship, reaching his highest level yet. However he struggled at Selhurst Park, and Peterborough United on a two-month loan deal in November. In the January transfer window Posh tried to agree terms with Hughes to sign him, but failed to do so, and thus he returned to Palace.

At the end of March, Bristol Rovers signed Hughes on a loan deal until the end of the season, but unfortunately for all parties he was injured on his reserve team debut, after giving The Pirates the lead. He returned to Palace for treatment, before signing permanently for Rovers in the summer.
