He started his basketball career at SSC Südwest as a mini-player and switched to TuS Neukölln and later to TuS Lichterfelde as a B-youth . The son of Turkish parents is relatively small for basketball standards at 1.80 meters tall. He made his Bundesliga debut at Alba Berlin and played for the capital city with the exception of a two-year detour to Mitteldeutscher BC (1999-2001) until 2005. With the "Albatrosses" he was five times German champion and four times DBB Cup winner.

After the 2004/05 season, Demirel did not renew his contract with his long-term club Alba Berlin and went abroad. In the 2005/06 season Demirel played for Beşiktaş Istanbul . For the following season he moved to Galatasaray Café Crown . This was followed by an interlude in Italy ( Scafati Basket ). In January 2008, the Brose Baskets from Bamberg announced that they had signed Demirel until the end of the season.

In preparation for the 2009/2010 season, Demirel traveled to the training camp in Kranjska Gora with his former basketball club Alba Berlin . Officially, the club announced that the clubless Demirel only wants to keep fit in order to recommend himself to other basketball clubs again.

In spring 2010 he announced the end of his playing career. An eye injury that had plagued him since April 2008 forced him to take this step.

National team

Demirel played in 100 international A matches between 1999 and 2007 and won two medals with the national team: bronze at the 2002 World Cup and silver at the 2005 European Championship.
