In the summer of 2007 he moved to the English first division club Middlesbrough for four years . On December 1, 2007 he scored his first Premier League goal against Reading FC . During the season he scored eight goals in the Premier League. He was voted Middlesbroughs Best Player in 2008-09. After the team's relegation, Tuncay joined Stoke City . He made his debut in the game against Sunderland (1-0), in which he came on in the 84th minute.

From January 2011 he played at VfL Wolfsburg . However, he was only used three times in the rest of the season and was substituted on again in the season finale.

During the summer break of 2011, Tuncay was loaned to Bolton Wanderers for a year , who also had a purchase option. After he returned to Wolfsburg, his contract was terminated on July 25, 2012.

At the beginning of September 2012 Tuncay moved to the Turkish club Bursaspor . He signed a three-year contract here. His contract was terminated at the beginning of February 2014.

After leaving Bursaspor, he played for Umm-Salal SC and FC Pune City in succession and ended his active career in the summer of 2016.

After a few U-21 international appearances , Tuncay made his senior national team debut in November 2002 at the age of 20 in a friendly against Italy. He scored three times in the 2003 FIFA Confederations Cup when Turkey finished third. He was awarded the Silver Ball as the second best player in the tournament and the Silver Shoe as the second best scorer in the tournament. However , his country failed to qualify for UEFA EURO 2004 ; Tuncay only played eleven minutes in the play-off loss against Latvia .

In the third preliminary round match against the Czech Republic in Euro 2008 , the Turkish goalkeeper Volkan Demirel received the red card in the last minutes after assaulting Jan Koller . The coach Fatih Terim was forced to put Tuncay in goal, as he had already made all substitutions. The game could Turkey with 3: 2 win.
