Ronald Hoop (born April 4, 1967 in Nieuw Nickerie, Suriname) is a former Dutch-Surinamese football player.

Career

After starting his career with amateur side BVC in De Bilt, Utrecht, Hoop spent his career playing with several clubs throughout Europe, including one year at then Serie B side Palermo, becoming the first foreigner being signed by the rosanero in over 20 years, but failing to impress with the Sicilian side who ultimately dropped to Serie C1 that season. He then spent his later years playing with clubs in Germany and Switzerland, then choosing to quit professional football in 2004 and joining amateur club USV Elinkwijk. In April 2006, Hoop scored Elinkwijk's 1200th goal in history.

He retired in 2008 at the age of 41.
