Gareth Hopkins (born 14 June 1980, in Cheltenham, England) is an English football striker currently playing for Conference South side Weston-super-Mare.
Hopkins started his career at the age of 17 by signing with his hometown club Cheltenham Town. He turned down Cardiff City in the process. He stayed with the Robins for 4 years, during which Cheltenham Town rose from the Conference National to League Two. During his time at Cheltenham Town, he was sent on loan to Cinderford Town, Bath City, and Forest Green before being released in 2002.
Following his release from Cheltenham Town, he went on trial with Kettering Town before eventually being signed to Cirencester Town by then manager Bryan Hughes.
