Football career edit
After a brief youth spell in the country of his ancestors with Fenerbahçe SK, Ari returned to Austria and started his career with amateurs FC Blau-Weiß Linz, where he also had started his football formation. In the same level of football, he then played two years in Spain, with UD Norte and UD Fuerteventura.
Ari's first taste of professional football came in 2007, when he played in the Austrian second division for SC Schwanenstadt. Staying in the country, he made his Bundesliga debuts with SC Wiener Neustadt; in early January 2010, however, he switched back to Turkey, signing for second level club Orduspor.[1]
