Forward Hoppe leaves Middlesbrough

Forward Matthew Hoppe has left Middlesbrough after having his contract terminated by mutual consent.

The United States international, 23, joined Boro from Mallorca for £2.5m in August 2022 but made just six appearances, all as a substitute, for the club.

Hoppe had loan spells with Scottish Premiership side Hibernian and Major League Soccer outfit San Jose Earthquakes in 2023.

He scored six goals in 15 Bundesliga starts for Schalke in the 2020/21 season before moving to play for Mallorca in La Liga, where he made only five appearances.
