Career
[edit]Blackburn Rovers

Darlington
[edit]He joined the club on a free transfer in the following month.[2] He was a regular for Darlington for the following season-and-a-half, making over 60 league and cup appearances,[2] but fell out of favour in the first half of the 1998–99 season and joined Northampton Town on loan in December 1998, which was quickly converted to a permanent signing a week later.[2]
Northampton Town
[edit]Hope made over 150 appearances in four and a half seasons at Northampton, helping the club to automatic promotion to the Second Division in 2000.[3] Following the club's relegation to the Third Division at the end of the 2002–03 season, Hope was released by Northampton in August 2003.
York City
[edit]Hope joined York City on a one-month contract in August 2003.[4] He then signed a three-month contract in the following month.[5] He stayed at York for the rest of the season but after the club was relegated to the Conference National at the end of the 2003–04 season he left the club.[6]
Chester City
[edit]He then signed for Conference champions Chester City on a two-year contract.[7] Hope made 28 appearances in League Two for Chester in the 2004–05 season,[2] helping the club to avoid relegation.[8] He also scored in Chester's memorable Football League Trophy win over Sheffield Wednesday.[9]
Shrewsbury Town
[edit]Shrewsbury Town signed Hope on free transfer in August 2005 after being allowed to leave Chester as he did not feature in manager Keith Curle's plans for the 2005–06 season.[10] He became a regular for Shrewsbury and was made club captain.[11] He made over 75 appearances in two seasons, helping the club to the League Two play-off final in May 2007.[12] Following defeat in the play-off final, Hope was released by Shrewsbury.
Wrexham
[edit]His next port of call was to sign for Wrexham in June 2007.[13][14] He made 35 league and cup appearances for Wrexham in the 2007–08 season but was transfer listed in May 2008 following the club's relegation to the Conference.[15]
Grimsby Town
[edit]He returned to League Two with a move to Grimsby Town after being handed a two-year contract by Alan Buckley in June.[16] However, after struggling to hold down a first team place, his contract at Grimsby was cancelled by mutual consent on 7 February 2009, departing Blundell Park after only featuring seven times during the 2008–09 season.[17]
