Inan began his professional career with the Solna Vikings in 2003 and went on to play two seasons for the club before moving to Turkey where he signed with Fenerbahçe for the 2005–06 season.
In 2006, Inan signed with Alpella where he went on to play two seasons for the club. After spending the 2008–09 season with Kepez Belediyesi, Inan joined Antalya BB in July 2009 where he spent the 2009–10 season.[1]
