Club career

Youth career and Schalke 04

Hoppe played a single season with the LA Galaxy academy, before being released by the team. [4] [5] After playing for the Barça Residency Academy in Arizona, Hoppe signed with Schalke 04 in June 2019. [6] [7]

On November 28, 2020, he made his professional debut for Schalke against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Bundesliga. [8] On January 9, 2021, he scored a hat-trick, and his first senior goals for Schalke, in a league match against Hoffenheim. [9] 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. [10] [11]

Hoppe signed his first professional deal at Schalke on February 1, 2021, keeping him at the club until 2023. [12]

Mallorca

[16] 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. [17] 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. [18]

International career

Hoppe received his first call-up to the United States ahead of a friendly against Switzerland on May 20, 2021. [19] He was named to the United States roster for the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
