Larne boss Tiernan Lynch has hailed skipper Jeff Hughes’ recent return to first team action, claiming the veteran midfielder is good enough to “play in his bedroom slippers”.
Hughes, who spent three months on the sidelines with an injury, made his first appearance in almost three months in last week’s 2-1 win over Glentoran at Inver Park.
And Lynch believes the 36-year-old’s return is a massive boost as the East Antrim club targets European qualification and Irish Cup glory at the business end of the campaign.
