In June 2013, Yunisoğlu signed for Sumgayit.{{cite web|title=The official Sasha Yunisoglu Sumgayit (PHOTO)|url=https://translate.google.com/translate?depth=3&hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=az&tl=en&twu=1&u=http://www.azerisport.com/az/futbol/20130624011640190.html|publisher=azerisport.com/|accessdate=8 July 2013|archive-date=7 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140407221441/http://translate.google.com/translate?depth=3&hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=az&tl=en&twu=1&u=http://www.azerisport.com/az/futbol/20130624011640190.html|url-status=live}} However, two weeks later Yunisoğlu cancelled his contract with the club and signed with Turkish side Denizlispor.{{cite web|title=Saşa Yunisoğlu rəsmən "Dənizlispor"da|url=https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=az&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Ffanat.az%2Fsasa-yunisoglu-r%C9%99sm%C9%99n-d%C9%99nizlisporda%2F|publisher=fanat.az|accessdate=8 July 2013}}
