LISTEN: Jason Hughes looking forward to Limerick challenge

Former Ballynanty Rovers captain Jason Hughes returned to local senior soccer club Limerick FC at the beginning of January. It was the worst kept secret in local football as Hughes returned for a third spell with the club.

Hughes said he was delighted to get the call from current Limerick manager and former teammate Tommy Barrett to return to the club.

“I can’t wait to get going. With the season starting on Friday I’m really looking forward to that. Hopefully we can get some sort of result to give the supporters something to cheer about and come back for. We will just take it game by game and see what happens at the end of the season.”

Hughes grew up in the shadow of the Markets Field and played all his underage football for Garryowen outfit Geraldines AFC. He is filled with pride at the opportunity to play in the Markets Field once again.

“Of course. The club has hit hard times recently but that’s in the background and has nothing to do with the players. We have to worry about ourselves and pick up as many points as we can.”
