Timeline

1971

Michael Eamon Hughes (born 2 August 1971) is a Northern Irish football manager and former footballer who is a majority shareholder and co-owner of NIFL Premiership side Carrick Rangers.

As a player, he was an attacking midfielder who notably played top flight football for Manchester City, West Ham United, Wimbledon and Crystal Palace, including numerous seasons in the Premier League.

He also played in Ligue 1 for Strasbourg and in the Football League for Birmingham City and Coventry City, having initially began his career in Northern Ireland with Carrick Rangers.

He finished his career with non-league side St Neots Town.

He was capped 71 times by Northern Ireland, scoring five times.

Since retirement, Hughes has returned to Carrick Rangers as first team manager, he has also worked as the clubs chief executive and currently co-owns the club.

Hughes' career began with Carrick Rangers, before moving to Manchester City as a trainee.

1992

In August 1992, he moved to RC Strasbourg for a fee of £450,000.

During his four years at Strasbourg, Hughes spent two years on loan to West Ham United.

1994

It was during the first of these two loan spells that Hughes would have a say in the outcome of the 1994–95 FA Premier League season.

West Ham United were playing at home to Manchester United on the last day of the season.

Manchester United's rivals for the title were Blackburn Rovers, who lost against Liverpool on the same day.

That meant that had Manchester United beaten West Ham United, they would win the league.

However Hughes put West Ham United ahead in the first half and despite a second half equaliser from Brian McClair, West Ham United held out to hand the title to Blackburn Rovers.

1996

In July 1996, Hughes made the move to West Ham United permanent.

In the process, he became the first British player to change clubs for free on a Bosman ruling.

The following season Joe Kinnear took Hughes to Wimbledon in a £1.6 million deal.

2002

Hughes became embroiled in a contract dispute between Birmingham City and Wimbledon in 2002.

In March 2002, Hughes played three matches for Birmingham on loan, but was injured before the club won promotion to the Premier League and a permanent switch fell through.

Wimbledon then refused to take him back.

The ensuing dispute over who held his registration continued for over a year and Hughes' career had to be put on hold.

2003

In October 2003, Hughes signed for Crystal Palace (who shared Selhurst Park with Wimbledon at the time) and an out-of-court settlement was reached with Birmingham.

2004

At Palace, he quickly became a fans' favourite, and, for the 2004–05 season, Hughes was appointed team captain.

Following relegation, he was replaced in the role by defender Fitz Hall (a decision, by the Palace management, which proved unpopular).

2006

However, after a run of good form, Hughes was re-appointed team captain, in January 2006.

He later lost the captaincy again, this time to Carl Fletcher.

2007

He was released by Palace in May 2007.

Peter Taylor commented on Hughes' Palace future claiming that: "Michael Hughes has basically been released, but his is slightly different because I'm really saying that something could also develop later on."

On 6 July 2007, Hughes joined his former manager Iain Dowie at Coventry City, signing a one-year contract.

2008

On 22 May 2008, Michael Hughes was released by Coventry City following the expiry of his contract, having made 18 first team appearances during the 2007–08 season.

Hughes fell out of favour with new Coventry manager Chris Coleman who eventually decided not to renew his contract.

2009

In March 2009, Michael joined St Neots Town as player-coach, working alongside former international teammate Steve Lomas.

Hughes won 71 international caps with the Northern Ireland national team, scoring five times.

Hughes was appointed caretaker manager of Carrick Rangers after the sacking of Stephen Small.

2013

On 23 September 2013, Hughes stepped down as manager and was replaced by Gary Haveron.

Hughes retained his position as the club's chief executive and majority shareholder.
