Hughes declared bankrupt

Former Coventry City striker Lee Hughes has been declared bankrupt.

Halesowen Town became the 13th club of Hughes 24-year career after they signed him last week following his first spell in management with Worcester City.

Hughes, 41, previously worked as a roofer before signing for boyhood team West Brom in 1997.

Hughes signed for Coventry in a £5million deal in 2001 but returned to The Hawthorns the following year after scoring 15 goals in 42 league outings for the Sky Blues.

After Hughes was imprisoned in 2004 for causing death by dangerous driving he resumed his career in the lower leagues with Oldham Athletic and hes been playing non-league football for the last few years.
