He played either as an attacking midfielder or as a striker. He played in Turkish Super League several seasons with Erzurumspor, Adanaspor, and Yimpaş Yozgatspor. His best season was his debut season as a professional player, when he scored 28 goals in 32 games in TFF Third League for Gümüşhanespor. That was a huge achievement given that he started playing football only when he was 17 years old. Until then, he was a basketball player playing for the local İdmanocağı basketball team. In 1994, he shifted to amateur football team of İdmanocağı. Without doubt his jumping and timing skills as a basketball player helped him to become a powerhouse forward in football. He is a native of Akçaabat and speaks English besides his native language.
