Making his debut at for the Reserves in ___, Paul Hopkins went through some golden spells of goal-scoring.
2004-05 was a promising season for Paul, with plenty of goals for the new Under-18 Academy side, and in the Youth Cup campaign. The promising striker signed professional terms with the Toffees in February 2005, after rising through the ranks at Goodison Park and can also operate on the right wing. Made his England Under-20s debut in August 2005 and became a regular in the Blues' reserve side. But he found making the transition to the Reserves more daunting, with only one goal from 15 starts. The following season wasn't much better, which was a pity.
Despite making it into David Moyes's senior squad at the beginning of the 2005-06 season, Hopkins never got a sniff, as he was overshadowed increasingly by Victor Anichebe and was released by Everton in April 2006 without ever playing above Reserves level.
