Hughes was scouted by the Parramatta Eels as a Harold Matthews Cup prospect and plucked from the nursery of the Cronulla Sharks before debuting for Parramatta in 2017. [2] He proved to be a dynamic weapon off the edge in his first campaign at the Eels and was particularly lethal in the red zone where his superior size and athleticism relative to the age bracket made him a mismatch nightmare.[ citation needed ]
