Mark McHugh (born 22 August 1990) is an Irish Gaelic footballer. A player with his local club Chíll Chartha and the Donegal senior inter-county team—with whom he has won two Ulster Senior Football Championships (2011, 2012) and one All-Ireland Senior Football Championship (2012)—McHugh has garnered comparisons with the iconic soccer player Lionel Messi from admirers across the sport.
McHugh is the son of Martin, the BBC television analyst and All-Ireland Senior Football Championship winner in 1992. He was born the Wednesday after his father's Donegal side were defeated by Meath in the semi-final of the 1990 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship. His son Ryan also plays for the Donegal minor team. Mark McHugh's uncle James also played in the 1992 All-Ireland Final and received an All Star in 1992. He has a dog called Miley, who has been photographed inside the Sam Maguire Cup. Miley is named after J. R. Ewing's dog from the U.S. TV show Dallas.
McHugh admits his club does not have many big games.
McHugh did not play at minor level, what with the Leaving Certificate and a broken collar bone. He made his senior championship debut as a substitute against Down in Ballybofey in 2010. He was part of the 2011 team that won the Ulster Senior Football Championship, and played in the final against Derry.
