Career

Brentford

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".[4]

Southall (loan)

Hippolyte joined Spartan South Midlands League Division One side Southall on a work experience loan deal on 11 January 2013.[8] He scored on his debut versus London Lions the following day, netting a late equaliser in a 2–2 draw.[9] 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.[10][11] Hippolyte returned to Brentford when his loan expired, having scored two goals in four appearances.[12]

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.[35] He began the season as a starter, before reverting to a substitute role in October 2015.[36] He departed the Almondvale Stadium on 29 January 2016, having made 64 appearances and scored 8 goals in 18 months with Livingston.[37]
