Myles Elliot Zach Hippolyte (born 9 November 1994) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger for EFL League Two club AFC Wimbledon. Born in England, he represents Grenada at international level.
A product of the Brentford Academy, Hippolyte moved to Scotland in 2014 and played for Livingston, Falkirk and St Mirren, before joining for Dunfermline Athletic in 2018. He returned to England a year later to play for Yeovil Town, before moving into the English Football League with Scunthorpe United, Stockport County and AFC Wimbledon. Born in England, Hippolyte declared his international allegiance to Grenada and made his full international debut in 2023.
A forward, Hippolyte began his career as a schoolboy at Harrow Youth League club Westway in London. [4] He also had brief spells at Fulham, Queens Park Rangers and Reading. [5] He joined the youth system at League One club Brentford in 2010 and signed a scholarship deal on 27 June 2011. [6] [7] In his first season as a scholar, Hippolyte was part of the youth team which advanced to the fourth round of the 2011–12 FA Youth Cup. [8] Hippolyte scored prolifically for the youth team and topped the team's goalscoring charts in both his seasons as a scholar. [9]
Hippolyte joined Spartan South Midlands League First Division club Southall on a work experience loan deal on 11 January 2013. [10] He scored on his debut versus London Lions the following day, with a late equaliser in a 2–2 draw. [11] His second and final goal for the club came in a 2–0 win over Kings Langley on 5 March, for which he won the man of the match award. [12] [13] Hippolyte returned to Brentford when his loan expired, having scored two goals in four appearances. [14] He was released at the end of the 2012–13 season, after failing to be offered a professional contract. [6] Looking back in October 2014, Hippolyte said "off the pitch I was slack. 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". [5]
After unsuccessful trials at Cambridge United, [15] Blackburn Rovers, Oxford United, [16] Charlton Athletic and York City, [5] [17] Hippolyte returned to Southall in November 2013. [18] He made one appearance in a 0–0 league draw with Arlesey Town Reserves on 16 November. [18] He later returned and made a further appearance towards the end of the 2013–14 season, in a 0–0 draw with Risborough Rangers on 1 May 2014. [18]
Hippolyte joined Conference Premier club Tamworth on trial in November 2013.

[20] He departed after the club declined to offer him a contract.
Hippolyte joined Conference South club Hayes & Yeading United on 31 December 2013. [21] He made his only appearance for the club as a substitute in a 3–1 defeat to Concord Rangers on 11 January 2014.

In late January 2014, Hippolyte signed for Southern League Premier Division strugglers Burnham and scored four goals in 14 appearances before the end of the 2013–14 season. [24] [25] [26] [27] [28]

[29] Hippolyte's debut for the club (the first professional appearance of his career) came in a Scottish Challenge Cup first round match versus Queen of the South on 26 July 2014. [30] With the score at 2–2, he came on as a 70th-minute substitute for Gary Glen. [30] In the extra time period, Hippolyte scored his first competitive goal for the club in an eventual 4–3 win and he went on to score four goals in his first eight games. [30] [31] Hippolyte started in the 4–0 2015 Scottish Challenge Cup Final victory over Alloa Athletic and won the first silverware of his career.

[34]
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 Livingston's defence of the Scottish Challenge Cup.

On 29 January 2016, Hippolyte joined Scottish Championship club Falkirk for an undisclosed fee. [37] His first goal for the club came versus Rangers on 18 March, with the second goal of a 3–2 comeback victory.

[48] He made 37 appearances and scored five goals during a 2019–20 season which culminated in defeat in the National League playoff quarter-finals.

[55]
A ruptured fibular collateral ligament suffered in June 2023 saw Hippolyte withdrawn from the 2023–24 pre-season campaign for recuperation and he returned to match play on 21 October 2023. [58] [59] On his fourth appearance back, he suffered another injury, [60] which saw him miss a further three months.
