Altay Bayındır

Altay Bayındır of Celta Vigo was born in Bursa, Turkey on 14 April 1998 (age 28).

Altay Bayındır, born on 14 April 1998 (age 28), is a Turkish goalkeeper now with Celta Vigo, where he wears the No 1 shirt. At 6ft 6in (1.98m), he is an imposing presence, which is not exactly a disadvantage in his line of work.

His early senior footing came at Ankaragucu, where he made 17 league appearances in 2018-19. The larger part of his career, though, was shaped at Fenerbahce. Across five seasons there he made 116 league appearances, giving him a proper run at one of Turkish football’s most demanding clubs rather than a passing association.

Bayındır has also remained in the Turkey picture, with one World Cup qualifier appearance and two Nations League appearances this season. His career to this point is mainly the story of a goalkeeper established through Fenerbahce, now continuing in Spain with Celta Vigo.
