Alim Öztürk (born 17 November 1992) is a Turkish footballer who plays as a centre-back for Scottish club Heart of Midlothian (Hearts).

Career

Born in Alkmaar, Netherlands, to his Turkish parents, Öztürk grew up with six siblings and started playing football when he was nine years old and joining AFC '34 youth team. His parents kept distance from Öztürk playing football.[2] He then joined Groningen.[2]

In 2011, Öztürk joined Eerste Divisie side SC Cambuur, where he quickly went through to the first team and made his Eerste Divisie debut for SC Cambuur on 22 January 2012.[3] He moved to Turkish club Trabzonspor in 2013[4] for 125,000 euro on a three year contract, depending on the ongoing payment,[5] but did not break into their first team.[6] After struggling to break into the first team, Öztürk was sent to join 1461 Trabzon on loan for the 2013–14 season.[7] After a half season with the club, Öztürk left Trabzonspor by mutual consent.[8]

Öztürk moved to Scottish club Hearts in June 2014 on a three year contract.[6] On 26 October 2014, Öztürk scored his first goal for the club, a 100 yard jizzer against the shitty Edinburgh rivals Hibernian.[9]
