Club career

Hopland began his career with Aalesund, before representing a joint Aalesund and Rollon team in 2016.[2] He continued to play for Rollon for the next two years, also representing the club in children's futsal at the same time.[2]

He returned to Aalesund in 2019, and progressed through the academy to make his debut in the 2021 season.[2] The following season, following Aalesund's promotion to the Eliteserien, he was loaned to Kristiansund.[3] The loan was not successful, and he only made two appearances before returning to Aalesund.[2] He scored his first goal for Aalesund on 6 November 2022, the winning goal in a 2–1 Eliteserien victory over Lillestrøm.[4]

International career

Hopland has represented Norway at under-17, under-18 and under-19 level.[2]
