Career

Brentford

A forward, Hippolyte began his career as a schoolboy at Harrow Youth League side Westway in London.[3][4] He also had brief spells at Fulham, Queens Park Rangers and Reading.[5] He joined the youth ranks at League One side Brentford in 2010 and was offered a scholarship deal in the summer of 2011.[6] In his first season as a scholar, Hippolyte was part of the youth side which advanced to the fourth round of the 2011–12 FA Youth Cup.[7] Hippolyte scored prolifically for the youth team, topping the goalscoring charts in both his seasons as a scholar.[8] He was released at the end of the 2012–13 season, having failed to be offered a professional contract.[6] Looking back in October 2014, Hippolyte said "off the pitch I was slack. I was late to training and wasn't switched on enough. It was the worst possible outcome because if it was due to lack of ability I could've accepted it".[5]

Southall (loan)

Hippolyte joined Spartan South Midlands League Division One side Southall on a work experience loan deal on 11 January 2013.[9] He scored on his debut versus London Lions the following day, netting a late equaliser in a 2–2 draw.[10] His second and final goal for the club came in a 2–0 win over Kings Langley on 5 March, picking up the man of the match award.[11][12] Hippolyte returned to Brentford when his loan expired, having scored two goals in four appearances.[13]

Return to Southall

After unsuccessful trials at Cambridge United,[14] Blackburn Rovers,[15] Oxford United,[16] Charlton Athletic and York City,[17] Hippolyte returned to Southall in November 2013. He made one appearance in a 0–0 league draw with Arlesey Town Reserves on 16 November.[18] He later returned made a further appearance towards the end of the 2013–14 season, playing in a 0–0 draw with Risborough Rangers on 1 May 2014.[18]

Tamworth

Hippolyte joined Conference Premier side Tamworth on trial in November 2013.[19] He signed non-contract terms and made his debut for the club in a 1–0 Birmingham Senior Cup first round win over Coleshill Town on 19 November, starting the match and being brought off for Troy Wallen.[20] After further training with the club, Hippolyte was called into the squad for an FA Trophy match versus Boston United on 14 December, but remained an unused substitute.[21] He departed after the club decided not to offer him a contract.

Hayes & Yeading United

Hippolyte joined Conference South side Hayes & Yeading United on 31 December 2013.[22] He made his debut in a 3–1 defeat to Concord Rangers on 11 January 2014, coming on as a half time substitute for Frankie Merrifield.[23] In a period hit by postponements due to the weather, Hippolyte departed the club in late January 2014.[24]

Burnham

In late January 2014, Hippolyte signed for Southern League Premier Division strugglers Burnham. He scored on his debut, netting the opener in a 1–1 draw with Bashley on 25 January.[25] He made it two in two games the following Tuesday, scoring in a 3–2 defeat to St Albans City.[26] After a lean patch, Hippolyte scored another two goals in two games in March, scoring in defeats to AFC Totton and Weymouth.[27][28] His final appearance came in a 2–1 victory over Corby Town on 12 April.[29] Hippolyte scored four goals in 14 games for the Blues.

Livingston

On 10 July 2014, Hippolyte signed for Scottish Championship side Livingston on a one-year deal, after impressing manager John McGlynn while on trial.[30] Hippolyte's debut for the club (the first professional appearance of his career) came in a Scottish Challenge Cup first round match versus Queen of the South on 26 July 2014.[31] With the score at 2–2, Hippolyte came on as a 70th-minute substitute for Gary Glen.[31] In the extra time period, Hippolyte scored his first competitive goal for the club in an eventual 4–3 win.[31] He went on to score four goals in his first eight games.[32] Hippolyte started in the 2015 Scottish Challenge Cup Final and start an eventual 4–0 thrashing of Alloa Athletic, to win the first silverware of his career.[33] Hippolyte finished the 2014–15 season with 42 appearances and six goals,[32] as Livi escaped relegation on the final day of the season.[34] In late June, he signed a new one-year contract.[35]

Hippolyte began his 2015–16 season with what proved to be the winning goal in a 2–1 victory over Clyde in the first round of Livi's defence of the Scottish Challenge Cup.[36] He began the season as a starter, before reverting to a substitute role in October 2015.[37] He departed the Almondvale Stadium on 29 January 2016, having made 64 appearances and scored 8 goals in 18 months with Livingston.[38]

Falkirk

On 29 January 2016, Hippolyte joined Scottish Championship club Falkirk.[39] His first goal for the club came versus Rangers on 18 March,[40] scoring the second goal of a 3–2 comeback victory.[41] He became something of a cult hero at the club, with a local chip shop offering a Hippolyte Haggis.[4] He made 15 appearances during the remainder of the 2015–16 season as Falkirk failed to win promotion to the Scottish Premiership via the Scottish Premiership playoffs.[40] Hippolyte scored eight goals in 35 appearances during the 2016–17 season, as once again the club failed to win promotion through the Scottish Premiership playoffs.[42]

International career

Hippolyte is eligible to represent England, Saint Lucia or Grenada at international level.[4] He was one of a handful of players the Grenada Football Association attempted to recruit ahead of 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers versus Puerto Rico in June 2015.[43]

Personal life

Hippolyte is of Grenadian descent on his mother's side and Saint Lucian on his father's.[4] His father's cousin is former footballer and current manager Johnson Hippolyte.[44] He attended Twyford Church of England High School.[5]
