Ege Tıknaz, born on 17 August 2004 (age 22), is a Turkish centre midfielder with SC Braga. At 6ft 4in (1.93m), he is an imposing presence in the middle of the pitch, though his career is still at the stage where the evidence is being built rather than settled.
His most productive league spell so far came at Rio Ave in 2024-2025, when he scored four goals in 28 appearances. That season gave him a more visible platform in Portugal and helped push his market value to around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
By 2026-2027 he was with Braga, where he has made six Liga Portugal appearances and six more in Conference League qualifiers, giving him 12 appearances across all competitions for the club. It is a straightforward profile at this point: a young Turkish midfielder, physically well equipped, now trying to establish himself at a higher level in Portugal.
