As a teenager Hepple had trials with Southampton and Wolverhampton Wanderers in the English football league, before going on to play domestically for Bears FC in the Bahamian New Providence Football League.
Hepple left the Bahamas to play college soccer in the United States in 2006, eventually settling at Bowling Green State University. In his summer college break, Hepple signed to play for Bradenton Academics in the USL Premier Development League in 2009, alongside his national teammate Happy Hall.
Following his graduation from Bowling Green, Hepple signed to play for Kitsap Pumas of the USL Premier Development League in April 2010.
On July 5, 2011, Hepple was sold by the Pumas to KF Tirana of the Albanian Superliga.[1] He arrived in Albania just one day before KF Tirana's Europa League encounter with Slovakian side Spartak Trnava, following a 32 hour trip from Bahamas to Tirane. He arrived in Tirane in the early hours of Wesnesday morning and managed to attend training the same day after just a few hours sleep, where he managed to impress the manager Julián Rubio enough to offer him a place in the starting line-up for the game the very next day.[2]
Hepple is a full international for the Bahamas national football team. He played for the Bahamas U-17 and U-23 teams before making his senior debut in a World Cup qualification match against Dominica in March 2004, when just 15 years old. Hepple has since earned 12 caps, 6 of those in World Cup qualification games.[3] He scored his first goal for Bahamas in a 4-0 rout of Turks and Caicos in a 2014 qualification game.[4]
