Defence MindedINFO:Aaron Hughes was a centre back or side back. His career began in 1997 at Newcastle United. He played 278 matches and scored 7 goals until 2005. Despite his main position being centre back, he played often as right-back and left-back for the "Magpies". After two seasons at Aston Villa between 2005 and 2007 he transferred to Fulham where he played mostly as centre back. He played 250 games and scored 3 times for the "Cottagers" from 2007 and 2014. Then he played for Queens Park Rangers, Brighton & Hove Albion, Melbourne City, Kerala Blasters and Heart of Midlothian where he retired in 2019. He gained 112 caps for Northern Ireland.
Hughes was a versatile defender known for his exceptional fair play: he never received a red card and rarely a yellow card. Throughout his career he showed good strength and interception, decent long passing ability, the capacity to read the play in defence and sometimes was helpful in attack when he was on the flank. However he wasn't really fast and wasn't too good in the air. More experienced, at Fulham he formed a very good pair of centre backs alongside Brede Hangeland.
