Career

Tiryaki joined Maidenhead United in 2008 after playing semi-professional football in Turkey. He initially failed to find form and was sent out to Potters Bar Town on loan, scoring two goals in four games.[3][4] On his return to Maidenhead, he hit a great vein of form. His goalscoring resulted in him being named the club's Player of the Season and resulted in a trial at Cheltenham Town in the summer of 2009.[5] Tiryaki joined Havant & Waterlooville in July 2009, signing a two-year deal with the Conference South club, despite attracting interest from several Conference National sides.[6] He remained at Havant until June 2011, leaving the club having failed to agree a new deal.[7] During his time at Havant, Tiryaki scored 23 league goals in 75 appearances.[8][9]

He spent time on trial at Scunthorpe United in July 2011, scoring in a friendly victory against Bottesford Town,[10] but was ultimately not offered a deal.[11] He then went on trial at Tranmere Rovers twice in the summer of 2011, signing a one-year deal in early August.[12] He made his competitive Football League debut on the first day of the 2011–12 season, starting in Tranmere's 1–0 victory against Chesterfield on 6 August.[13] He scored his first professional goal for Tranmere in a 2–1 home win over Walsall on 22 October 2011.[14] Seven days later after scoring his first goal on 29 October 2011, Tiryaki scored a brace in a 4–2 defeat against Scunthorpe United.[15] In the January transfer window, Tiryaki was linked with Turkish giant Trabzonspor for a reported £100,000 bid.[16][17] However, the move was never materialise.

On 1 March 2012, Tiryaki was allowed to join Conference National side Cambridge United for a one-month emergency loan.[18] He left the Abbey Stadium at the end of March 2012.

He returned to Tranmere, playing some games towards the end of the season, but was released in May.[19]

After being released by Tranmere, he moved to Turkey by signing a 4-year contract for Turkish Bank Asya First Division team 1461 Trabzon in June 2012.[20]
