hull city, ‘Really proud moment’ – Hull City new boy reacts to debut against Norwich City

Hull City new boy Charlie Hughes has posted on X that making his debut over the weekend was a ‘really proud moment’.

Hull City swooped to land the centre-back from Wigan Athletic in the last transfer window. He has had to wait to feature for the first time after having his appendix removed.

Hughes, 20, was brought on for Sean McLoughlin at half-time on Saturday at Carrow Road against Norwich City. Tim Walter’s side ended up losing 4-0 to the Canaries and were well beaten in the end as they returned to East Yorkshire with nothing.

Really proud moment for me putting the shirt on! Thank you for your support. We bounce back after the break.”
