Öztürk was heavily criticised for his performances in goal following the injury to Trabzonspor’s first choice goalkeeper Onur Kivrak.
Kivrak injured his knee during a Europa League tie with Legia and is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
Trabzonspor signed Hakan Arikan as a replacement and the Turkish international has impressed since his arrival.
