Tarkan Mustafa (born 28 August 1973 in Islington, London) is an English football right-sided defender or winger who currently plays for Worthing. He has previously played in the Football League for both Barnet and Rushden & Diamonds. He has represented the England semi-professional side.
Mustafa was with Norwich City as a schoolboy before joining Wimbledon. He failed to make their first team and was released into non-league football. He joined Kettering Town for the 1996-97 season, leaving to join Barnet at the end of the season. His league debut came on August 16, 1997 when he played as a second-half substitute for Sam Stockley in the 2-1 defeat at home to Exeter City.
He struggled to establish himself at Barnet and was released at the end of the season, joining Kingstonian. In 1999 he scored the winning goal in the FA Trophy final for Kingstonian against Forest Green Rovers. Mustafa joined Rushden & Diamonds in June 2000 and was a regular in the Conference winning side the following season. He remained a regular in the Football League side the following season, but was transfer-listed in November 2002 after losing his place. He had a trial with Coventry City before joining Doncaster Rovers on loan in December 2002.[1] He returned to Rushden after his month on loan, despite Doncaster offering a contact until the end of the 2004-05 season,[2] and in February 2003 joined Dagenham & Redbridge.[3]
In May 2004 Mustafa followed Dagenham manager Garry Hill to ambitious Conference South side Hornchurch[4][5] and was part of the side that looked set to run away with the league the following season. However, in November 2004 Hornchurch were in serious financial trouble after the collapse of their main sponsor and placed their entire squad on the transfer list. Mustafa left and trained with Peterborough United before joining Aldershot Town in January 2005.[6]
He was loaned to Billericay Town in October 2005[7] and was released by Aldershot in February 2006.[8] He then moved to Lewes before soon joining Worthing, moving to Thurrock in September 2006[9] and Eastleigh in November 2006.
He was released by Eastleigh in July 2007[10] and the following month rejoined Worthing.[11]
He has also played for Clapton and Leyton.
