Career

Burnley

Pugh was born in Bacup, Lancashire and attended All Saints Catholic Language College in Rawtenstall.[3][4] He started his football career with Championship side Burnley where, at a young age, he started as a Centre of Excellence player, and gradually worked his way up through the ranks to become an apprentice in 2003.[5] As a first year apprentice he played for the youth and reserve teams and due to his great goalscoring record, which led him to be named on the bench for two first team matches in the League Cup, they decided to keep him on for a third year.[5] As a third year apprentice he scored 15 goals for the club's reserve and youth team.[6] This led to him to being sent out on loan to Kidderminster Harriers in the Conference National in November 2005 to play first team football.[7] He made his debut for Kidderminster after coming on as a 86th minute substitute in a 3–1 defeat to Stevenage Borough.[8] He converted a Simon Heslop cross during a match against Dagenham & Redbridge to score his first career goal, which helped Kidderminster to a 3–1 victory.[9] Also, during a match he displayed a smart piece of skill which involved flicking the ball over an opponents head with his heel, then crossing the ball in for a teammate to score; this move was featured on Soccer AM's showboating section.[10] He returned to Burnley on 13 December after picking up a groin injury,[11] but eventually returned for a second spell on 7 January 2006.[12] This spell ended on 26 January so Pugh could concentrate on his career at Burnley and made 10 appearances and scored one goal while at Kidderminster.[13][14] He learned that he would not receive a professional contract at Burnley in February, which was partly because both Chris McCann and Kyle Lafferty had both already received professional contracts and they were only second year apprentices.[15]

Bury

Having just been released from Burnley, Pugh started looking for a new club, and was eventually offered a place at League Two side Bury on a short-term contract following a three week long trial at the club.[16][17] Bury were entangled in a relegation battle and Pugh made his debut after coming on as an 80th minute substitute for Lewis Gobern in a 2–1 win against Rochdale on 25 March.[18] He marked his first start for Bury with goal in the 1–1 draw against Lincoln City on 15 April,[19] after which manager Chris Casper commented "Mark's a good player and he's got a bright future if he keeps his feet on the ground".[20] He finished the 2005–06 season by playing six games and scoring one goal for the club.[14] As a result of his good performances (and helped by the fact that Bury had survived relegation), Bury manager Chris Casper offered him a new one-year contract at Gigg Lane; his first professional contract.[21] Pugh was very much a regular first-team player in the 2006–07 season, playing particularly well in the first half of the season and was offered an extended contract at the club,[22] which Pugh rejected, saying he "wanted to keep his options open".[23] Manager Chris Casper revealed his disappointment at this and Pugh later said financial reasons were not behind his motivation to reject a new contract.[24][25] He was offered renewed contracts throughout the season but still took none of them, with Casper blaming his agent for this.[26]

Shrewsbury Town

With many clubs interested in his services,[26] Pugh eventually signed for fellow League Two side Shrewsbury Town on 29 May 2007 for a fee that would be decided by a tribunal.[27] Shrewsbury manager Gary Peters revealed that he had already attempted to sign him earlier in the season as part of a swap deal when striker Glynn Hurst moved to Bury.[26] He made his debut in a 4–0 victory over Lincoln City, setting up Andy Cooke for the third goal with a cross.[28] He suffered from an injury in November and underwent a scan, which was believed to be a cartilage problem.[29] Days after discovering the results of the scan, which revealed he was sufferig from acute tendinitis, he returned to training,[30] and scored his first goal for Shrewsbury on his return in a 4–0 victory over Dagenham & Redbridge.[31] He went on to score a further two goals that season following the arrival of Paul Simpson as manager, and finished the 2007–08 season with 38 appearances and four goals.[32]

After struggling to feature in the team at the start of the 2008–09 season,[33] he joined fellow League Two side Luton Town on a month's loan on 12 September 2008.[34] His debut came in a 3–1 victory over Aldershot Town,[35] after which manager Mick Harford said "He is an out and out winger, and he put in some good crosses. But he hasn't played a lot of football this season and he maybe faded a bit".[36] He returned to Shrewsbury after playing four games in a Luton shirt.[37] He was loaned out to League One team Hereford United on 26 March 2009 and made his debut in a 1–0 defeat against Huddersfield Town.[38][39] Pugh scored the equalising goal for Hereford against Hartlepool United on 4 April, making the score 2–2, although Hereford eventually lost 4–2.[40] He finished the loan spell with nine appearances and one goal.[37] He was released by Shrewsbury after having the remaining year of his contract cancelled in June.[41]

Hereford United

Four days after his release from Shrewsbury, Pugh re-joined Hereford on a permanent basis following their relegation to League Two, signing a one-year contract on 30 June 2009.[42] He finished the 2009–10 season as Hereford's top goalscorer with 13 goals in 46 appearances.[43]

Bournemouth

He left Hereford at the end of the season after rejecting a new two-year contract and joined newly-promoted League One team Bournemouth on 4 June 2010 for a fee that would be decided by a tribunal.[44][45][46] He made his debut in the opening game of the 2010–11 season, a 1–0 defeat at Charlton Athletic on 7 August and his first goal of the season came in a 5–1 victory over Peterborough United on 14 August.[47][48]
