Bora Aydınlık — Biography

Bora Aydınlık is a young forward who came through Fenerbahçe's academy and has played for TFF 2. Lig side Fethiyespor since the summer of 2026. Although born in the United States, he chose to represent Turkey at youth level, and was once talked of as a promising player compared with Arda Güler. Born in 2005, he is still at the start of his career.

He joined Fenerbahçe's academy in 2015 and started out as a left-back, later moving up to left wing and then center-forward. On February 24, 2022, he was named among the substitutes for the UEFA Conference League game against Slavia Prague, his first contact with the senior squad. In his first match in a Fenerbahçe shirt he scored against Zenit, and the press called him Fenerbahçe's new star. On September 2, 2023, he was loaned to the English Championship club Hull City until the end of the season. He later spent a further loan at Beyoğlu Yeni Çarşı in the TFF 2. Lig. In July 2026, after his spells at Fenerbahçe and Hull City, he moved to Fethiyespor.

His choice of national team was a topic for some time: he was eligible for both the United States and Turkey, and in March 2022 he was called up to the United States senior squad. He went on to play for Turkey at under-19 level.
