Since 2019, he has been as an assistant coach at his former club Kayserispor.[2]

Career

He joined Kayserispor in 2003 and became the top goal scorer in the Süper Lig scoring 25 goals in the 2005–06 season.[1] His goal scoring ability was also apparent in European competitions, where he scored 6 goals in 8 games during Kayserispor's UEFA Intertoto Cup campaign in the same season, in which they became the first team from Turkey to win the competition.

He attracted attention from a number of top clubs, namely Galatasaray[3] who tried to sign him during the summer break in 2007, but Kayserispor refused all offers, as well as another from Russian team FC Rubin Kazan for €6 million.[4] He transferred to Trabzonspor on June 3, 2008[5] for a club record €6.25 million.[6]

Fenerbahçe

On 18 January 2010 Fenerbahçe signed the forward from Trabzonspor until June 2013 for €3.5 million plus midfielder Burak Yılmaz, who was on loan at Eskisehirspor until now. Ünal scored his first goal for Fenerbahçe on February 14 against Manisaspor when he scored the equalizing goal in the 97th minute.[7][8]

Ünal was sent to İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyesi S.K. on a 6-month loan after his poor start to the season.

Return to Kayserispor

Ünal was transferred back to his old club Kayserispor on a loan deal for the 2011–12 season.
