Career
Club
Yalçın began his career at Newcastle United's centre of excellence and joined York City as a youth trainee in 2002.[1] He made his debut for the club aged 17. He attracted interest from abroad, training with Antalyaspor and Denizlespor for a period in 2004, and Royal Antwerp were also believed to be ready to give him a trial.[2] He was reported to have joined Darlington on a months loan in September 2004,[3] but it was later revealed that the deal, which saw David McGurk join York on loan, was only one way and Yalçın had not moved.[4] He went on to score his first goal for York against Morecambe in October 2004.[5] He had a trial at Yeovil Town in 2005.[6] He signed a new contract with York City in June 2005.[7]
Yalçın was signed by Whitby Town in February 2006 after he left York City by mutual consent.[1] Just days after joining Whitby, Yalçın went on a two-week trial with Hartlepool United.[8] He played for Scarborough in a pre-season friendly in August 2006, against Whitby, who he played for the previous season.[9] Yalçın went on trial with Scunthorpe United in 2007.[10] He joined Billingham Synthonia in August 2007.[11] In the 2009/10 he was prolific in front of goal for Stokesley Sports Club F.C., in the Northern League second division, helping them to promotion.
