Career
After initially playing with their youth team, Hopkirk signed an 18-month professional contract with Hamilton Academical in February 2010.[2] After signing a contract extension in May of that year,[3] Hopkirk made his professional debut for the club in the Scottish Premier League on 13 November 2010, aged 17, in a 3–1 home defeat against Inverness Caledonian Thistle.[4] Hopkirk was released by Accies on 22 September 2011.[5] Following his release, he trained with West Bromwich Albion. Cardiff City and Ipswich Town were also interested in signing him.[6]
Hopkirk spent a few months of the 2011–12 season in the reserves at Hearts, though he did not formally sign for them. He later signed with Queen of the South on 9 August 2012[7] and was then loaned out to Annan Athletic for the month of November 2012, before returning to Queens at the start of December 2012.[8] When his contract ended with Queens on 31 December 2012, Hopkirk signed permanently for Annan Athletic on 1 January 2013.[9] After spending two years with the Scottish League Two side, Hopkirk moved up a division, signing for Dunfermline Athletic during the winter transfer period in 2015.[1] Hopkirk made his first start for the side against Ayr United, scoring once in a 2–0 victory.[10]
