Club career

[edit | edit source]

Youth career and Schalke 04

[edit | edit source]

Hoppe played a single season with the LA Galaxy academy, before being released by the team.[5][6] After playing for the Barça Residency Academy in Arizona, Hoppe signed with Schalke 04 in June 2019.[7][8]

On November 28, 2020, he made his professional debut for Schalke against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Bundesliga.[9] On January 9, 2021, he scored a hat-trick, and his first senior goals for Schalke, in a league match against Hoffenheim.[10] Hoppe became the first American to score a hat-trick in the Bundesliga and the 4–0 result also meant that the club ended their 30-game winless streak in the league.[11][12]

Hoppe signed his first professional deal at Schalke on February 1, 2021, keeping him at the club until 2023.[13]

Mallorca

[edit | edit source]

Hoppe moved to La Liga club Mallorca on August 31, 2021, the last day of the 2021 summer transfer window. The transfer fee paid to Schalke 04 was reported as €3.5 million plus possible bonuses.[14] Hoppe made only seven appearances for the club across all competitions in a debut season that was beset with injuries and a bout of COVID-19.[15]

Middlesbrough

[edit | edit source]

On August 10, 2022, Hoppe signed a four-year deal with EFL Championship side Middlesbrough.[16] Hoppe was loaned to Scottish Premiership club Hibernian in January 2023.[17] On August 3, 2023, Hoppe returned to the United States, signing on loan with Major League Soccer side San Jose Earthquakes until the end of the 2023 MLS season.[18] San Jose Earthquakes had the option to purchase Hoppe through the loan agreement but chose not to exercise it. On 4 December 2023, Hoppe returned to his parent club but was unable to play until 2024 due to player registration rules.[19]

On January 9, 2025, Hoppe had his Middlesbrough contract cancelled by mutual consent. [4]

Sønderjyske

[edit | edit source]

On January 31, 2025 it was confirmed that Hoppe joined Danish Superliga side Sønderjyske on a deal until June 2027.[20]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Hoppe received his first call-up to the United States ahead of a friendly against Switzerland on May 20, 2021.[21] He was named to the United States roster for the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup.[22] Hoppe earned his first international cap when he was named in the starting 11 in the second group stage match of the competition against Martinique.[23] On July 25, Hoppe scored his first national team goal against Jamaica in a 1–0 win for the United States in the quarter-finals of the tournament.
