Aaron Hughes has admitted he is ready to play wherever he is needed for the good of the team.


The Fulham vice captain claimed he wasn't bothered about playing at right-back rather than his preferred centre-half during the weekend's draw with Aston Villa.

Talking to the club's website he said: "I've never complained about playing anywhere, if that's what the manager asks me to do that's what I'll do."

Northern Ireland international Hughes also said he was very pleased to reach 400 Premier League appearances.

He added: "It's something I'll look back on when I finish playing and I'll be very proud of. I didn't actually realise until somebody reminded me."

Fulham now host Croatian side Dnipro on Thursday in the Europa League play-off, where Hughes will hope to help his side emulate previous success in the competition.
