Taner Yalçın (Turkish pronunciation: [ˈtanæɾ jaɫˈtʃɯn], born 18 February 1990) is a German former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. He manages SC 1960 Hanau.

Club career[edit]

1. FC Köln[edit]

In 2003, Yalçın moved from SC Fortuna Köln to 1. FC Köln. There, he won the 2008 Under 19 Bundesliga West (scored 15 goals in 21 games).

In may 2008, he signed a professional contract with 1. FC Köln until 2011, running from the summer 2008.[1] Yalçın made his professional debut on Matchday 2 of the 2008–09 Bundesliga season in a home game against Eintracht Frankfurt.[2] As the season progressed, he appeared on the pitch a total of 12 times.

After a very good pre-season ahead of the 2010–11 season, Yalçın established himself as a regular player in the early stages of the season. In the first round of the 2010–11 DFB-Pokal, he scored his first professional goal for 1. FC Köln.[3] His first goal in the Bundesliga came on 12 September 2010, in a match against FC St. Pauli.[4]

İstanbul BB[edit]

For the 2011–12 season, Yalçın was loaned out to Turkish TFF First League club İstanbul BB.[5] Yalçın got his debut for İstanbul on 11 September 2011 in a match against Galatasaray.[6] Yalçın was finally signed on a permanent basis in June 2012.[7]

Kayserispor[edit]

After Istanbul BB was relegated from the Süper Lig for the 2013-14 season, Yalçın moved to TFF First League club Kayserispor in July 2013.[8]

Yalçın hit the headlines in late April 2014 after he was shot in a shootout in a nightclub in Istanbul with other professional footballers such as Gökhan Töre, Hugo Almeida, and Manuel Fernandes.[9] His club took this incident as an opportunity to terminate Yalçın's ongoing contract.[10]

Later career[edit]

On the last day of the 2014–15 winter transfer window, Yalçın moved to Turkish TFF Second League club Elazığspor.[11] In the summer of the same year, he then moved to Kayseri Erciyesspor.

In January 2016, he moved to Kastamonuspor for the second half of the 2015–16 season.[12] He left the club again at the end of the season.

On 12 September 2016, Yalçın returned to Germany and joined SV Sandhausen on a one-year contract.[13][14] He played his only 2. Bundesliga game for the club on 4 February 2017, a 2–0 win against Erzgebirge Aue, when he was on from the bench in the last minute. He also played several games for the second team in the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg. His contract expired in the summer 2017 and was not renewed.

After a year without club, Yalçın signed with TFF Third League club İnegölspor in July 2018.[15] He left the club at the end of the season and then signed with Sivas Belediyespor in August 2019.[16] In March 2020, he ended his contract early and returned to his hometown of Cologne.[17]

Yalçın remained without club until July 2021, when he joined German Mittelrheinliga club FC Hürth.[18]

He signed with SC Elsdorf of the lower-league Bezirksliga in July 2023.[19]

International career[edit]

Taner was born in Germany and is of Turkish descent. He has represented both Turkey and Germany at the youth level.[20][21]

Managerial career[edit]

In February 2024 Yalçın was appointed manager at Hessenliga club SC 1960 Hanau.[22]
