Mehmet Boztepe (born January 16, 1988 in Elazığ ) is a Turkish football player who also has German nationality and is used in midfield .

Birth and childhood

Mehmet Boztepe was born in Elazig in 1988 . In the same year his father moved to Germany and settled in Moers ; a year later, Mehmet followed suit with his mother and sister.

Career

Mehmet Boztepe first played for TV Asberg in his youth before moving to Borussia Mönchengladbach . From there he moved to the adult division in 2007, for the second team at Borussia Dortmund . Here he came in the Regionalliga Nord only as a supplementary player to train. Of 38 possible games, he completed only 15, in which he was only once in the starting lineup, but was also substituted prematurely. With his team he missed the qualification for the newly created 3rd soccer league .

But he achieved this in 2008/09 when the Borussia reserve won the championship of the Regionalliga West and thus rose. However, its status remained almost unchanged. Again he was on the field in 15 games, but only on 34 game days. This season he got his first two goals in senior football and he played for the full 90 minutes, albeit in the meaningless last game, when promotion was already achieved.

He started a class higher on the first two match days and made his professional league debut on July 25, 2009 in the 4-3 defeat at Wacker Burghausen . In the further course of the series , however, he was only six times in the starting eleven. There were also six bets as a joker. He increased his goal count to four hits. The Dortmund team ended the season in 18th place in the table and were relegated straight away.

Back in the Regionalliga West, he initially remained a substitute in the 2010/11 season , but came to longer and longer appearances over the course of the round and became an important pillar of his team, especially towards the end of the season, when he was in the last seven games scored five goals. However, it was clear early on that the promotion would not succeed and that the season would end in midfield. In the end, the Dortmund team took 6th place, 20 points behind the newly promoted Preußen Münster .

Boztepe then left Germany and moved to his native country free of charge for the 2011/12 season and signed a three-year contract with the first division club Eskişehirspor . In the first half of the 2011/12 season, however , he was not used in the Süper Lig, which is why he left the club during the winter break. He moved to the second division Elazığspor from his hometown Elazig on a free transfer . There he signed a contract for two and a half years.

Due to a lack of eligibility to play, Boztepe left the club on January 31, 2012, the last day of the transfer period, and signed a contract with the Dutch second division club FC Emmen . There he signed a contract until the end of June 2012 including an option. On February 20, 2012, the 23rd matchday of the Jupiler League , he made his debut for FC Emmen in the home game against FC Den Bosch (1: 2).

At the end of August 2012, Mehmet Boztepe signed a two-year contract with the regional division Wuppertaler SV Borussia until the end of June 2014. In the 2012/13 season , he made 28 appearances in which he was able to convince with two goals and twelve assists as a midfielder. After his club, renamed Wuppertaler SV, had to file for bankruptcy and relegate, his contract lost its validity.

In June 2013 Boztepe was committed to the 2013/14 season by the regional league team SSVg Velbert . He signed a one-year contract until the end of June 2014.

For the second half of the 2013/14 season Boztepe moved to the Turkish TFF 1st Lig to Adanaspor . After one and a half years he moved to the third division Bandırmaspor . With this club he ended the 2015/16 season as the play-off winner of the TFF 2nd Lig and thus achieved promotion to the 1st Lig. Boztepe completed 30 league games and scored nine goals. Despite this success, he moved to the league and provincial rivals Balıkesirspor .
