David Durmaz — Biography

David Durmaz is a retired Swedish defender of Assyrian descent who played more than a hundred matches in Sweden's professional leagues, Allsvenskan and Superettan. His family emigrated from the Midyat district of Mardin to Sweden in 1975 as workers, and because of this background he holds Turkish citizenship alongside his Swedish one. His given name is said to come from his grandfather's name, Davut, which appears as David on his passport. He is a relative of the international footballer Jimmy Durmaz.

He spent a large part of his professional career in Sweden, playing for Malmö FF. In the summer of 2009 he moved from Malmö to Denizlispor in Turkey, but trouble around the transfer left him without playing time and he left that winter. Back in Sweden he joined newly promoted Syrianska FC and, from the 2012 season, played for their city rival Assyriska Föreningen. GAIS and Ljungskile SK are also among his clubs, and he wore the shirt of Konyaspor KIF as well. He has since retired.
