Hughes made his senior championship debut in 2017, then established himself as first choice goalkeeper.[4] He played in the opening three matches of 2022 National League, but lost his place in the team after that.[4][1]
He was given a one-match penalty for "behaving dangerously towards an opponent" during the 2022 All-Ireland SFC quarter-final against Galway, even though he did not play during the game.[5][6][7][8]
In late-2022, Hughes opted out of inter-county football to focus on the business he co-owns, H&G Performance.[4] Hughes returned at the start of 2024 after an injury to Ethan Rafferty.[4][9][10]
