Profile
<\/STRONG>
Although the majority of players in Turkey's UEFA EURO 2008 squad are home-based, Tolga Zengin is the only one of that contingent who does not belong to one of the big three Istanbul clubs. The 24-year-old goalkeeper plays his football for Black Sea side Trabzonspor, where he has been a steadily growing influence over the past two seasons.
Born in the extreme north-east of Turkey near the border with Georgia.
Joined Trabzonspor in 1998, signing professional terms in 2003; made debut in 2005\/06 season, where he was understudy to Brazilian Jefferson Galvão.
Started 18 (of 34) league games in 2006\/07 and made European debut in UEFA Cup against APOEL FC of Cyprus.
Regular performer for Turkey at youth levels; received first senior call-up in August 2006 but had to wait until March 2008 before making debut – in friendly against Belarus in Minsk, where he remained on field for 90 minutes in 2-2 draw.
Made 22 league appearances for Trabzonspor in 2007\/08, the majority under former national team coach Ersun Yanal who took charge in October.
