Early life[]

Hopkins was born on 19 July 1992 in Nottinghamshire.[2]

Domestic career[]

Hopkins made her county debut in 2007, for Derbyshire against Essex.[4] She hit her maiden county half-century in 2011, scoring 58 against Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire, a season in which she was her side's leading run-scorer in the Championship, with 192 runs.[5][6] In 2014 she was again her side's leading run-scorer in the County Championship, with 279 runs at an average of 34.87.[7] In 2016, Hopkins had a standout season, hitting her maiden county century, 117* against Cheshire, and was Derbyshire's leading run-scorer in both the County Championship and the Twenty20 Cup.[8][9][10]

Hopkins moved to Durham ahead of the 2018 season, and was quickly successful, being the side's leading run-scorer in both the 2018 Women's County Championship, with 215 runs at an average of 53.75, and in the 2019 Women's Twenty20 Cup, with 142 runs at an average of 20.28.[11][12] In 2020, Durham merged with Northumberland to form the North East Warriors.[13] Although the side has not played any competitive matches due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Hopkins appeared in two friendlies against Scotland for the team in 2020.[14]

Hopkins is also a coach, having worked for Durham as a Cricket Development Officer from 2018, and, when the side became North East Warriors, becoming a High Performance Coach for the new team.[15][3]

In 2020, Hopkins played for Northern Diamonds in the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy. She appeared in four matches, scoring 54 runs at an average of 13.50.[16]
