Birol Hikmet (born 24 March 1982) is a Turkish former footballer.

Career[edit]

Hikmet currently plays for Adana Demirspor in the defensive midfielder position.

He is more passive when he defends. Rather than tackle a player, he is more likely to shadow him, thus pushing him back. This mentality earns him both praise and criticism.

Despite Hikmet's high pass completion rate, his passing has been described as erratic in the past. A possible explanation for this is his short passing range.
