Philip 'Philly Cheesesteak' Hughes (born 12 September 1981) is an Irish footballer who plays for St. Mochtas in the Leinster Senior League. Hughes plays as a forward.
Hughes, a much travelled player, began his football career with Tolka Rovers during the 1999–00 season, scoring nine goals in 22 appearances. His performances at intermediate level did not go unnoticed when he made the step up to League of Ireland football with St. Francis at the beginning of the 2000–01 season. Hughes was snapped up by St. Patrick's Athletic later that season. First team opportunities at Richmond Park became difficult to obtain for Hughes resulting in his departure on loan to First Division Kilkenny City during the 2001–02 season. Hughes scored 15 goals in 20 games for Kilkenny that season. His impressive form with Kilkenny saw him recalled to St. Patrick's Athletic, but yet again first team opportunities were limited for Hughes.
Hughes departed St. Pats at the end of the 2002–03 campaign, to join Kildare County for the first summer soccer season of 2003. He became a regular in the county side that season helping them to a fifth-place finish in the First Division with a contribution of 10 goals in 33 league appearances. Hughes departed County after that season to join Dublin City, who had achieved promotion to the League of Ireland Premier Division for the 2004 season. It was a difficult season for Hughes as scored just three goals in 20 appearances for the struggling Vikings, and he was initially released along with 14 other players by new Dublin City manager Roddy Collins in a mid-season cull. Hughes joined First Division UCD on loan for the remainder of the 2004 season, where he scored three goals in 12 appearances to help the Students to promotion to the Premier Division.
