BREAKING | Matty Hughes rejoins the Blues following Chorley departure

Chester Football Club are delighted to announce that Matty Hughes has become our first new summer signing at the Swansway Chester Stadium.

Matty is no stranger to CH1, having had two loan spells with the Blues during the 2014/15 campaign under Steve Burr.

The 25-year-old quickly became a favourite with his pace and skill – scoring four goals in 25 appearances.

His loan move to Chester was from Fleetwood – who then released Matty in 2015. He made a move to AFC Fylde, and was part of the side that gained promotion to the National League. He scored nine goals in 73 games for the Coasters.

Matty has plenty of National League North pedigree, and spent last season at Chorley.

Welcome back to Chester FC, Matty!
