Having played for the Glamorgan Second XI since in 1967 and 1968,[1] Hopkins joined Middlesex for the 1969 season, making his first-class debut in that same season against Lancashire in the County Championship. He also made his List A debut in that same season, against Essex in the Player's County League. With opportunities limited at Middlesex due to presence of regular wicket-keeper John Murray, Hopkins made just three further first-class appearances, the last of which came against Northamptonshire in the 1972 County Championship,[2] as well as appearing in just one more List A match, against Derbyshire in the 1971 John Player League.[3] Hopkins failed to make an impression at Middlesex, scoring 8 runs at an average of 1.60 in first-class cricket, while taking 9 catches.[4]

He later appeared for Wales in their only ICC Trophy appearance in 1979, playing in three matches against the Netherlands, Israel and the United States.[5] He made scores of 92 against Israel and 72 against the United States.[6]

Hopkins' brother, John, also played first-class cricket.
