Signs new contract until 2029
Hopkins has been signed by D.C. United to a U22 Initiative contract through June 2029, the team announced Wednesday.
Analysis: Hopkins is trending on the right direction to retain a consistent role for various seasons, having already matched his career-best direct contributions output in the 2026 campaign, tallying two goals and one assist across 15 games played. He may continue to feature either as a center-forward or on the right wing while taking occasional set pieces for the remainder of the year.
Takes opportunity in stride
Hopkins scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-2 victory against Orlando City SC.
Analysis: Tai Baribo (thigh) did not play Saturday, so that meant D.C. United's primary striker was Hopkins, and he took advantage of the opportunity. By attempting his lone shot from outside Orlando's penalty box, he logged an excellent goal, ending what has been just as a superb week for him. For two appearances, Hopkins scored during both games.
