Daniel "Danny" Hughes (born 10 December 1986) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League (AFL).
He was recruited from Sandringham (VFL) via
Casey Scorpions in the Victorian Football League whilst on the Melbourne list.[2] Hughes finally made his AFL debut, over four years after he was first drafted, in Round 7 of the 2010 season against the Western Bulldogs at the MCG, replacing Ricky Petterd, who was injured the previous week.[3] He kicked one goal in his debut game and played the following week against West Coast, when he again kicked one goal. Hughes was dropped after the match against West Coast and did not play another match in Melbourne's senior team for the remainder of the 2010 season. He was delisted by Melbourne at the end of the 2010 season.[4]
