Kevin Hughes is a Gaelic footballer who played for the Tyrone county team. He was a major figure in Tyrone's midfield on their way to their first ever All-Ireland triumph in 2003, earning the Man of the Match for the All-Ireland final against Armagh.[1]

Hughes completed the triumvirate of All-Ireland inter-county football medals, having been part of the Tyrone Minor and Under-21 teams that won in 1998 (minor), 2000 and 2001 (both U-21).[citation needed]

Hughes is from a rural club called Killeeshil St Mary's in County Tyrone, where he is the captain of the senior football team within the club.[citation needed]

In January 2012, Hughes called time on his inter-county career.[2]
