Altay Signs 17-Year-Old Goalkeeper Semih
Altay Signs Young Goalkeeper to 3-Year Contract
Altay, who is currently under transfer ban, has made another move to secure the talent of their young players from the club’s youth academy. The team recently signed a 3-year contract with 17-year-old goalkeeper Galip Semih Mendeş, adding to their previous signings of 18-year-old national defender Hikmet Çolak and goalkeeper Ulaş Hasan Özçelik.
With their squad significantly dispersed in the 1st League and the loss of experienced players, Altay has had to turn to their youth infrastructure to fill the gaps. The club’s General Manager Atakan Atalay and Semih’s family were present at the signing ceremony, where Semih expressed his happiness at achieving his dream of being promoted to the A team. “I hope that I will wear our jersey successfully for many years and represent Büyük Altay well,” he said.
The continued transfer ban has presented challenges for Altay, but the club remains committed to nurturing and developing their young talent. The signing of Semih Mendeş reaffirms the club’s focus on building for the future and relying on the potential of their young players. With the support of the coaching staff and management, Altay looks to create opportunities for their emerging talents to shine on the field and contribute to the success of the team.
