A third top class signing in four days has been unveiled by Caernarfon Town.

Attacking midfielder Rob Hughes, who was at Flint Town United last season, has today joined the Canaries for the 2021-22 campaign.

He follows in the illustrious steps of Dion Donohue and Daniel Gosset through The Oval gates this week.

The 29-year-old Hughes has previously worn the colours of Prestatyn Town, Rhyl, Connah’s Quay Nomads and Flint, as well as Australian clubs Melbourne Knights and Goulburn Valley Suns.

Hughes first made his mark in the Welsh Premier with Prestatyn late in the 2013-14 season.

He joined Rhyl the following campaign and spent three seasons at Belle Vue where he became renowned for scoring some remarkable goals.

After signing for Goulburn Valley Suns in January 2017, he returned to Wales and put pen to paper for Connah’s Quay Nomads.

He often impressed for the Deesiders, but at the start of 2019-20 he returned to Prestatyn, now in the Cymru North, and was a resounding success, scoring 22 goals for the champions before deciding to continue his career in Australia.

Last summer he joined Flint Town United and now Caernarfon Town becomes his fifth Cymru Premier club.
