He signed a 3 year contract with the Turkish club on the 20th of June 2007. His spectacular performance with his previous team enabled him to obtain a place in the international squad. Before coming to Galatasaray, he played 16 games for Kayseri Erciyesspor and received 10 goals.

Some remarkable details about Orkun are that he wears long-sleeve shirts in every match he plays and because of his previous curly-dirty hairstyle and the facial hair he has Galatasaray fans gave him the name "Crazy (Çılgın) Rambo" as well as "Komunist Kaleci (Communist Keeper)".

He has been called up for a friendly international match once, but still needs to make his debut for the Turkish national football team
