Şenol Demirci — Biography

Şenol Demirci was born on 27 August 1980 in the German city of Oberhausen, where he grew up; he is said to hold both Turkish and German citizenship and is known as a Turkish footballer. He chose to pursue his football career in Turkey, transferring to Orduspor at the start of the 2004-05 season and going on to play for several First League and Süper Lig clubs.

While on the books of Süper Lig side Diyarbakırspor, which he joined in the summer of 2008, he made headlines after being stabbed in an altercation that followed a traffic accident near Samsun. At the start of the 2009-10 season he signed a two-year deal with First League club Giresunspor; once that contract ended he moved to the ambitious Second League side Altay. He finally transferred to his home-region club Samsunspor, where his spell ended in December 2012 with a mutual termination of his contract, following friction with the club's board that had already reached the press in the spring of that year.
