After waiting two years, he moved another Super League team Elazığspor in 2003. He served as third goalie behind Miroslav König and Orkun Uşak. Same year Elazığspor was relegated and some players left their clubs including goalkeeper Miroslav König. When Miroslav König left the team Oğuzhan Bahadır was signed as the new first-choice goalkeeper. Atacan faced stiff competition against Oğuzhan. He made only 5 appearances that season. At the end of 2005-2006 season, Elazığspor announced that they would not prolong the contract with Oğuzhan and therefore Atacan was to become the team's first-choice goalkeeper. In August 2007 Atacan signed a contract with Boluspor. Atacan Öztürk has represented Turkey 43 times at various age levels including Under-16s, Under-17s, Under-18s, Under-19s and Under-21s.[1]
