Abdullah Karmil

Abdullah Karmil — Biography

Abdullah Karmil is a defender who came up through Trabzonspor's academy into the first-team squad and whose career has run from the Süper Lig down to the third tier. He made his Süper Lig debut on February 23, 2013, then kept playing in the lower divisions, turning out for Nevşehir Belediyespor and Düzcespor.

As a youngster he was seen as one of Trabzonspor's players for the future: he stood out at a pre-season camp under Hugo Broos, who said publicly that he expected a great deal from him, Göksu Alhas and Mustafa Yumlu. When the club's management wanted to send all three to 1461 Trabzon, Karmil declined, joined Çorumspor on a one-year loan, and then moved to 1461 Trabzon, where he scored 3 goals in 43 matches over two seasons. He returned to Trabzonspor, agreed a deal with Adanaspor on August 6, 2014, and spent the season there. Although he agreed terms with Alanyaspor at the start of 2015-16, he moved at the mid-season break to Kartalspor in the second tier and, a season later, to Çorum Belediyespor in the third. Ankaraspor and Osmanlıspor are also among his clubs. In July 2021 he signed for Nevşehir Belediyespor.

He first wore the Turkey shirt in 2006, making 8 appearances for the under-18s and 6 for the under-19s, and in 2009 he was called up to the under-21 side, for which he played 5 times. He stands 1.86 m tall.
