Nikolai Søyset Hopland (born 24 July 2004) is a Norwegian footballer who plays as a centre-back for Eredivisie club Heerenveen on loan from Aalesund.
Hopland began his career with Aalesund, before representing a joint Aalesund and Rollon team in 2016.[2] He continued to play for Rollon for the next two years, also representing the club in children's futsal at the same time.[2]
He returned to Aalesund in 2019, and progressed through the academy to make his debut in the 2021 season.[2] The following season, following Aalesund's promotion to the Eliteserien, he was loaned to Kristiansund.[3] The loan was not successful, and he only made two appearances before returning to Aalesund.[2] He scored his first goal for Aalesund on 6 November 2022, the winning goal in a 2–1 Eliteserien victory over Lillestrøm.[4]
On 2 September 2024, Hopland moved to Heerenveen in the Netherlands on loan with an option to buy.[5]
