McHugh came to St. George from the Carlton Athletics JRLFC [1] and was graded in 1942. He played three seasons with St. George between 1942 and 1944. McHugh played centre in the 1942 Grand Final for St George.[2] War duties[3] and a knee injury curtailed his rugby league career during this time, and he announced his retirement in 1945.[4][5]
