Club career edit
Özdoğan started playing youth football at Avarta. He moved to Kjøbenhavns Boldklub (KB) in 1999, the reserve team of multiple Danish champions FC Copenhagen. Özdoğan made his debut for Copenhagen, the defending 2005–06 Danish Superliga champions, in the unofficial 2006 Viasat Cup tournament in May 2006, after playing the first half of the 2006–07 season for KB's youth team. On 3 December 2006, he made his official debut for the club in 1–0 home loss to Norwegian club Lillestrøm in the Royal League, replacing Lars Jacobsen in the 69th minute.[1][2] In 2007, he was promoted to the KB senior squad, two years early, alongside Mads Laudrup.
Ahead of the 2009–10 season, Özdoğan was promoted to the Copenhagen first team squad together with Thomas Delaney, under manager Ståle Solbakken. Özdoğan made his Superliga debut in April 2010, and played two games as Copenhagen won the 2009–10 Danish Superliga championship.[3] In the following season, he played in four games, as FCK won the championship once again. Özdoğan played a total of 70 minutes in these six games for FCK.[3] Özdoğan had his contract terminated in December 2011, as he was deemed surplus to requirements by Copenhagen's new manager Roland Nilsson.[4]
After undergoing a trial with Turkish second division club Kasımpaşa, Özdoğan chose not to sign with the club, suspecting that the contract offered was dubious.[5] Following an unsuccessful trial with Danish 1st Division club Viborg, Özdoğan returned to his childhood club, Avarta, in the Danish 2nd Division during the spring season of 2012. In August of the same year, he joined rival club Svebølle B&I, also in the 2nd Division.[6]
In the summer of 2019, Avarta announced that Özdoğan had departed the club and would take on the role of a playing assistant manager at Ishøj IF.[7]
International career edit
He has played 26 games and scored a single goal for various Danish youth national teams. He made his debut for the Danish under-16 national team in January 2006, and played two matches for the team and scored a goal. In September 2006, he was called up for the Danish under-17 national team.
