After initially playing with their youth team, Hopkirk signed an 18-month professional contract with Hamilton Academical in February 2010. After signing a contract extension in May of that year, 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.

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 and was then loaned out to Annan Athletic for the month of November 2012, before returning to Queens at the start of December 2012. When his contract ended with Queens on 31 December 2012, Hopkirk signed permanently for Annan Athletic on 1 January 2013. 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.
