Östersunds FK
In December 2011 Hopcutt attended an open trial outside of Birmingham arranged by Swedish third tier side Östersunds FK manager Graham Potter. He impressed enough to be signed by the club on a three-month deal, but with his improving form in Sweden they soon extended his contract for the rest of the season and during the fall they extended it yet again for two additional years.
Hopcutt signed a new contract with Östersunds FK in 2014. Halfway through the 2015 Superettan season newspaper Aftonbladet ranked him as the tenth best player in the league while Östersunds-Posten listed him as the fifth best Östersunds FK player of all time.
On 4 April 2016, Hopcutt made his first ever appearance in the Allsvenskan, coming on as a 58th-minute substitute for Gabriel Somi. In the 82nd minute of the game, Hopcutt suffered a double fracture of his tibia, effectively ruling him out for the rest of the season.
