Bournemouth's Richard Hughes announces retirement

Bournemouth midfielder Richard Hughes announces his retirement from football at the age of the 35.

Bournemouth midfielder Richard Hughes has announced his retirement from football at the age of the 35.

The Scot ends his playing days for a second time after a brief retirement three years ago when he left Portsmouth.

He spent his entire 15-year professional career on the South Coast with Pompey and the Cherries, making over 250 league appearances.

Speaking of his last two years with Bournemouth, Hughes told the Daily Echo: "To play, albeit a minor role, in arguably two of the most successful seasons in the club's history has been a source of major enjoyment, pride and satisfaction.

"I am very fortunate to have had the opportunity to end on this note. I am doing it for the right reasons and with no regrets."

Hughes added that he wants to remain in the game in some capacity.
