Bournemouth AFC | “I didn’t necessarily have ambitions to work in the recruitment side of things when I was a player,” Richard Hughes said to Bournemouth AFC's website. “I was a student of the game, loved analysing the game and loved having an opinion and sharing it with people – and I’ve found myself doing all that in recruitment.”

To give Eddie Howe the best possible conditions, former Cherries midfielder Richard Hughes is at the forefront of recruitment at Bournemouth. 

Since Hughes joined the recruitment department five years ago, they’ve almost trebled in numbers. 

When scouting a new player, their attitude and character is more important than what you can see in the 90 minutes, says Hughes.
