Birol Hikmet (born March 24, 1982 in Akyazı, Turkey) is a Turkish footballer who currently plays for Adana Demirspor in the TFF First League.

Career

Hikmet currently plays for Adana Demirspor in the defensive midfielder position.

He is more passive when he defends. Rather than tackle a player, he is more likely to shadow him, thus pushing him back. This mentality earns him both praise and criticism.

Despite Hikmet's high pass completion rate, his passing has been described as erratic in the past. A possible explanation for this is his short passing range.
