Former Ipswich Town player Tommy Hughes has become the Blues third signing of the summer.
The 24-year-old has arrived at the Getaway Cars Stadium having spent the previous two-and-a-half seasons with National League North outfit King’s Lynn Town.
Prior to linking up with the Linnets, the midfielder enjoyed 14 years rising through the ranks at Ipswich.
Hughes went on to make three senior appearances for the Tractor Boys in the FA Cup and EFL Trophy, as well as having a brief loan stint with us in 2018 alongside other temporary spells at Lowestoft Town, Leiston and Torquay United.
Paul Musgrove said: “Tommy is dropping out of full-time football to join to us and he has aspirations to get back there one day, which we hope we can help him to achieve.
“Cole knows Tommy really well. He’s technically really good, he’s always hungry to get on the ball and he’s always looking to play forward. “He’s got all of the attributes that we look for when we’re signing a player and he’ll add some really good competition in our midfield.
“He knows a lot of the lads already and he’s trained with us a few times before, so he knows what we’re about.”
