Biography

Özdoğan started playing youth football at BK Avarta. He moved to Kjøbenhavns Boldklub (KB) in 1999, the reserve team of multiple Danish champions F.C. Copenhagen (FCK). Özdoğan made his debut for F.C. Copenhagen, the defending 2006 Danish Superliga champions, in the unofficial 2006 Viasat Cup tournament in May 2006, after playing the first half of the 2006–07 season in the KB youth team, he was a part of the FCK squad for the Scandinavian Royal League 2006-07 tournament. At new year 2007 he was promoted to the KB senior squad, two years early, alongside Mads Laudrup.

In the summer break 2009, Özdoğan was promoted to the FCK first team squad together with Thomas Delaney, under FCK manager Ståle Solbakken. Özdoğan made his Superliga debut in April 2010, and played two games as FCK won the 2009-10 Danish Superliga championship.[1] In the following season, he played in four games, as FCK won the championship once again. Özdoğan played a total of 70 minutes in these six games for FCK.[1] Under new FCK manager Roland Nilsson, Özdoğan found himself unwanted, and he had his contract annulled in December 2011.[2]

He underwent a trial with Turkish club Kasımpaşa SK, but Özdoğan thought the contract offered was suspicious, and did not sign with the club.[3] He unsuccessfully trialled with Danish 1st Division club Viborg FF, before moving back to childhood club BK Avarta in the Danish 2nd Division for the Spring of 2012. In August 2012, Özdoğan moved to rival 2nd Division club Svebølle B&I.[4]
