Hubbard played local football and for the Army side before making the move to Fosse and actually making his debut for the club when he was still a serving soldier, coming on as a substitute in the league clash at Burton Albion in March 1907.
He went on to rack up the appearances in the blue and white, making 140 league appearances for the club and more during wartime football, bagging over 40 goals in all competitions as a centre-forward.
Hubbard left for Darlington after six seasons with Fosse but he did return to feature 17 times during wartime football, bagging a good return of five goals. His performances then were enough to help him secure a brief return to the club post-war as a veteran but it didn't last long as he moved on to Ashby Town, where he was player-coach, and where he finished his career.
