Eser Yağmur

Eser Yağmur — Biography

Eser Yağmur was born on May 29, 1983, in Berlin and came up through the German youth academies of Tennis Borussia Berlin, Reinickendorfer Füchse and VfL Wolfsburg. He turned professional with Beşiktaş in 2002; a run of injuries there dented his form and he was loaned out for a season each to Elazığspor and Diyarbakırspor, returning briefly to Beşiktaş in 2004-05 before being sold to Bursaspor.

He spent three seasons as a forward at Bursaspor before agreeing a two-year deal with Karşıyaka in 2008-09, a season he finished with three goals. At the start of 2009-10 he signed for Konyaspor and helped the club win promotion to the Süper Lig that season; when he could not secure regular playing time in 2010-11, he moved midway through the season to 1. Lig side Kayseri Erciyesspor. On September 1, 2011, he signed a one-year contract with 1. Lig club Denizlispor and extended it by two more years at the end of the season.

He was capped a total of four times for Turkey's youth teams -- three at U-20 level and one at U-21 -- and was once named to the Turkey "A2" squad in 2005, though he did not play. He played out the later years of his career at Kartalspor and worked as a manager after retiring as a player.
