[edit] Club career

[edit] FC Sochaux

Erding was promoted from Sochaux's academy to the first-team squad in the 2005-06 Ligue 1 season, scoring a last-minute goal on his debut to gift his side a 1-0 victory away at AC Ajaccio. Despite early promise, it wasn't until the 2007-08 season that he was finally able to hold down a first team place - becoming the club's top-scorer with 11 goals in 28 appearances. His current contract with the French side lasts until June 2009.

[edit] International Career

He has dual-nationality and was thus eligible for both Turkish and French national teams, before gaining his first senior international cap for Turkey on 26 March 2008, in a 2-2 draw with Belarus.

On 10 May 2008, Fatih Terim announced Erdinç's inclusion in Turkey's 23-man squad for Euro 2008.
