Egemen, whose contract with Fenerbahce runs out at the end of this season has previously also played for Besiktas and Trabzonspor.

Egemen has won one Turkish Super League title and one Turkish cup title since his arrival at Fenerbahce from Besiktas on a free transfer. The experienced defender was part of the Fenerbahce squad which reached the UEFA Europa League semi final in 2013.

The former Bursaspor and Trabzonspor player made 21 appearances for Fenerbahce last season.

Egemen has made five appearances for Fenerbahce this season.
