Career
He was born in Bursa and started playing football in Bursa Merinosspor between 2000-2002. He started his professional career at Bursaspor in 2005 as an 18-year-old and loaned again to Bursa Merinosspor between 2005-2007. In his first season, he made his mark in league (scored 3 goals in 25 matches) and cup competitions (played 4 matches). In August 2011, signed Volkan for Trabzonspor on a 4-year contract. But in August 2013, Volkan was brought to tears from insults emanating from Trabzonspor supporters and eventually abandoned the pitch. The fans were insulting his recently deceased mother.[citation needed] In 2014, he returned to Bursaspor,[citation needed] and in 2015 he signed for Fenerbahçe.
