Eskihellaç began in the youth system at Çağlayanspor and signed his professional contract in 2015 at Düzyurtspor, where he had spent five years; in three years in the Third League he played 58 matches and scored 11 goals.

In 2026 he continued to feature in both league and cup matches for Trabzonspor, saying in interviews that both the league and the cup matter to the team.
