Eren Güngör

Eren Güngör — Biography

Eren Güngör is a former Turkish footballer who came through the youth national teams to the senior side and played for Altay, Kayserispor and Kardemir Karabükspor. Standing 1.87 m, he played as a central defender and, when needed, as a left-back, and was known as a committed defender. He ended his career at Kardemir Karabükspor.

He began with the local side Çamdibigücü, and after four seasons moved to Altay's youth system at the age of 14. Two years later he signed a professional contract there and played with Altay in the first division. His steady form caught the eye of Kayserispor manager Tolunay Kafkas, and at 19 he moved up to the Süper Lig on a four-year deal with Kayserispor. At the start of 2009-10 an injury and subsequent wrong treatment kept him off the pitch for the whole season. He left Kayserispor in August 2013.

He was called up 26 times across the national teams, wearing the shirt at U17, U18, U19 and U21 level, 21 appearances in total with two goals. He scored at the 2008 Toulon Tournament in Turkey's 3-2 win over the United States. Fatih Terim picked him for the senior side because of his form at club level, and Güngör made his A national team debut in a friendly against Austria on November 19, 2008.
