Ferdi Kadioglu joined Albion in August 2024 on a four-year contract from Fenerbahce.
Born in Arnhem, he began his career in the Netherlands with NEC Nijmegen and broke through in 2016, after more than eight years with the club. He played 70 times for the Eredivisie side, before switching to Fenerbahce in 2018.
During six seasons in the Super Lig, he played more than 200 games, scoring 18 goals, and in 2023 he won the Turkish Cup.
The full-back made his Premier League debut in our goalless draw with Ipswich Town in September 2024, before scoring his first league goal in our 2-1 defeat at Liverpool in November 2024. A foot injury prevented him from making another appearance that season.
Ferdi had the option to play for Turkey, Netherlands or Canada – his father is Turkish and his mother Dutch-Canadian. He played for the Netherlands at age groups under-16 to under-21 but opted to play senior international football for Turkey in 2022. He has since become a regular for Turkey and was one of their standout players at Euro 2024, playing every minute of their run to the quarter-finals in Germany.
