Sercan Kaya — Biography

Sercan Kaya is a Turkish midfielder who came through the Bucaspor youth system and rose to the Süper Lig. The turning point of his career was helping Bucaspor climb two divisions in a row and then earning a move to Trabzonspor on the strength of his Süper Lig form. He has continued to play for clubs around the Black Sea region since.

He signed his professional contract in 2007 and made his first official appearance on 19 August of that year, in a 2. Lig match against Alanyaspor. Bucaspor won the 2.

His starting role in the 2010-11 Süper Lig put him on many clubs' transfer lists, and on 8 June 2011 he joined Trabzonspor together with Eren Albayrak. In his first official match for them, a Turkish Cup third-round tie, he scored.

In 2012-13 he was loaned to 1461 Trabzon, then moved midseason, again with Albayrak, to Rizespor for a reported 2 million euros, making 22 appearances with 4 goals and 4 assists in his first season there.
