He transferred to Bursaspor ahead of the 2009–10 season and won the league title with the club that campaign as Bursaspor became the first club outside Istanbul to win the Süper Lig in 26 years.Bursaspor was also the first club outside Istanbul to win the Süper Lig in 26 years as Trabzonspor's last league title came in 1984.[http://www.zaman.com.tr/haber.do?haberno=984912&title=sampiyon-bursaspor Şampiyon Bursaspor!] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100518101807/http://www.zaman.com.tr/haber.do?haberno=984912&title=sampiyon-bursaspor |date=18 May 2010 }} {{in lang|tr}}

He was a Turkey international and won 34 caps for the Turkey national team.

His strengths were in his defensive capabilities. He usually would play in the anchor position, covering the defence and attempting to move the ball onto the midfield. He would rarely venture forward, preferring instead to organise and protect the back line.
