Christofer David (born Christofer Gurkan, 6 March 1993) is a Dutch professional footballer of Aramean descent who plays as a midfielder for Go Ahead Eagles in the Dutch Eerste Divisie.

Club career

Early career

Born in Amsterdam, Netherlands, David's family moved to Enschede when he was 3 years old. He joined FC Twente youth team at the age of seven and moved through the age groups at the Dutch club.

In 2010, together with his family, he switched the Turkish surname Gurkan for his originally Aramaic surname David.[3]

Fulham

Former Fulham manager Martin Jol signed David, who was also attracting attention from Ajax on 4 January 2013 from Dutch club FC Twente.[4]

David made his Fulham debut in the FA Cup third round against Norwich City at Carrow Road.[5] On the 11th of May, the final day of the season with Fulham already relegated, David scored on his Premier League debut in the dying seconds to tie the game against Crystal Palace.[6] Despite being featured for five matches at the start of the 2014-15 season and aiming for first team football,[7] David's first team opportunities were soon limited under new manager Kit Symons.[8]

Twente

On 31 January 2015, it was announced that David was sent on loan to his former club FC Twente until the end of the season. The club has the possibility to make the deal permanent.[9] David did previously hinted his return after they were relegated to the Football League Championship.[10]

However, David was placed in the Jong FC Twente squad instead and made his debut against Almere City on 6 February 2015.[11] David made his senior FC Twente debut on 22 February 2015, coming on as a substitute for Bilal Ould-Chikh in the 60th minutes, in a 2-1 loss against Vitesse Arnhem.[12] David made another league appearance, in a 1-1 draw against NAC Breda on 28 February 2015. After this, David continued to play for Jong FC Twente throughout the season. David was captain and scored his first goal, in a 2-2 draw against Volendam on 3 April 2015.[13] David scored his second goal on the last game of the season against Achilles '29.[14] At the end of the 2014-15 season, the club decided not to take up options to sign David permanently, as the club's financial problem believed to be the main factor.[15]

Upon returning to Fulham, David was among nine players to be released by the club.[16]

Go Ahead Eagles

On 14 August 2015, it was announced that David has been signed by Dutch Eerste Divisie side Go Ahead Eagles.[17]
