Kerem Bulut (born March 2, 1992 in Sydney, New South Wales) is an Turkish-Australian professional association football player who currently plays for FK Mladá Boleslav in the Czech Republic's Gambrinus liga. Bulut represented Australia at the 2010 AFC U-19 Championship where he scored 7 goals to win the Golden Boot as Australia finished second at the tournament.

On 17 November 2010, Kerem was arrested and faced Burwood Court on 18 November charged with a range of offences including malicious wounding with intent to cause grevious bodily harm; robbery in company; participate in criminal group; assist criminal activity, affray and intimidation. He we was charged alongside three other men and a juvenile. During a brief appearance in Burwood Local Court, Magistrate Christopher Longley was told Bullut was a member of the gang MBM or Muslim Brotherhood Militants. Along with three co-accused, Bulut is accused of robbing and intimidating two men who were to be witnesses in a trial. He was granted strict conditional bail, which was not opposed by the DPP, including requirements that he report to police three times a week and not go outside the family home between 8pm and 6am.[2]

Club career

Bulut was signed to the youth team of Sydney FC from NSWIS in 2008 for the 2008-09 A-League National Youth League scoring his first goal in a 2-1 win against Adelaide United on October 11, 2008.[1] Bulut would only score three goals in the season before spending 2009 with the AIS. Bulut returned to Sydney for the 2009–10 A-League National Youth League season.[1] He was immediately picked up as one of the brightest and most talented players in Australia, and it was rumored early on that he would either be signed by Sydney FC to the senior team, but was also linked with clubs in Spain, and Turkey. He scored 13 goals in 27 appearances for the Youth Team, but Sydney failed to reach the finals. He immediately went on trial with several clubs in Europe, including FK Mladá Boleslav after recommendations from Sydney FC senior manager Vítězslav Lavička.[3]

FK Mladá Boleslav

After being on trial for several weeks, it was confirmed by the Czech club that they had signed Bulut.[4][5] Bulut has a 3-year contract with the club. Signed to the club’s first-team, he became one of four teen-aged players and one of five foreigners in the 25 man squad. Immediately thrown into the squad's first 11, he debuted on July 18, 2010 by starting in a 2-0 victory against Ústí Nab Labem.[6] On July 24, 2010 he again started in a 1-1 draw against České Budějovice.[7] Two league rounds later he scored his first goal in Gambrinus liga in a home match against Příbram.[8]

International career

Bulut played in the 2008 AFF U-16 Youth Championship, which Australia won, where he scored 4 goals.[9] He was then selected to represent the Australian U-17's on a tour of Turkey and Italy, and scored a goal against Turkey in a 2-1 loss.[10] Bulut was selected to play in the 2010 AFC U-19 Championship held in China. He scored Australia's second goal in its first group stage 4-1 win over Yemen.[11] Bulut would again deliver for the Young Socceroos after 60 minutes in their second group stage fixture as Australia would beat Iran at 3-0 and secured a spot in the knock-out stages.[12] Australia were drawn with the UAE at the quarter-final stage when Bulut opened the scoring after just 6 minutes. The game was locked at 2-2 before Australia would eventually win after scoring 2 goals in extra-time.[13] Bulut scored a brace in the semi-final against Saudi Arabia as Australia went on to win 2-0.[14] Korea DPR would beat Australia 3-2 in the final, which saw Australia take the lead at 2-1 having been down 1-0, when Bulut scored both goals in the space of six minutes, as Australia went onto qualify for the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup. Bulut was awarded the Golden Boot of the tournament having scored 7 goals[15][16][17][18][19][20][21] After his performance at the tournament, the media had publicised Kerem as a talent that Sydney had lost due to snubbing him during selection.[22]
