Kevin McHugh - Finn Harps
About Kevin McHugh
Kevin McHugh is rightly considered a legend at Finn Park, and his signing for the club for a second time prior to the start of the 2010 season was greeted with great acclaim by the Harps faithful.
Only two players, Brendan Bradley and Con McLaughlin, have scored more goals than McHugh for Finn Harps, with McLaughlin having only a handful more strikes to his credit. McHugh began his career with Harps in 1998. He made his debut as an 18-year-old in a 2-0 win over Fanad United in the League Cup in August 1998, coming off the bench to score Harps’ second goal in the victory at Triagh-a-Loch. His tally of 27 goals in 2004 played a major part in Harps winning the First Division title that year.
McHugh left Finn Park at the end of the 2005 season to join Derry City. After three seasons with the Candystripes, where he picked up FAI Cup and League Cup winners medals, McHugh moved to Irish League club Linfield where he spent one year, before returning to Harps ahead of the start of the 2010 season.
In his first spell at the club, the Killea man scored 122 goals (101 in the League) in 248 games for Harps and was top scorer for the club in six successive seasons from 2000/01 until he left Finn Park in 2005. McHugh is one of only a handful of players to have scored more than 100 League of Ireland goals.
