Fatih Ceylan — Biography

Fatih Ceylan (born November 25, 1980, in Düzce) is a German-Turkish former professional footballer who played as a left winger.

He began his football career at Sakaryaspor in 2000, playing for both the reserve and first teams in the Turkish second and first divisions. In 2006 he transferred to Kayserispor, one of the strong sides in the first division, making 76 appearances and scoring 4 goals for the club, though a knee injury limited him to just 11 matches in the 2007-08 season. He parted ways with Kayserispor in the second half of the 2008-09 season and moved to Antalyaspor, where he played for one season before signing a two-year contract with Kardemir Karabükspor ahead of 2010-11. Midway through that season he signed with Denizlispor until the end of the campaign, later extending the deal by a further year before leaving the club in the middle of the 2011-12 season.

Later in his career he played in Germany for BSV Bad Bleiberg, TSV Grunbach, which he joined in 2013, and 1. CfR Pforzheim. Some sources say he ended his career at 1. CfR Pforzheim and later also worked there as manager, while others state his career ended with TSV Grunbach at the close of the 2013-14 season and that he was put in charge of Kayserispor's European scouting committee at the start of 2014-15.
