Biography
Uğurcan Çakır (born 5 April 1996) is a Turkish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Süper Lig club Galatasaray and the Turkey national team.
Trabzonspor Çakır made his senior debut for Trabzonspor in a 1–0 loss to Rabotnicki Skopje during the qualifying rounds of the UEFA Europa League. He later played three matches in the Turkish Cup, keeping two clean sheets. After these appearances, he established himself as the club's second-choice goalkeeper, remaining on the bench until January without making any appearances in the Super Lig. Like many young Trabzonspor goalkeepers, Çakır was loaned to the club's local affiliate 1461 Trabzon on 15 January 2016. He made his senior debut for the club in a 2–1 win over Yeni Malatyaspor. He continued as 1461 Trabzon's first-choice goalkeeper for three additional appearances in the TFF First League, conceding seven goals without keeping a clean sheet. He later suffered an ankle injury that kept him out for two months. After returning, he played four more matches but was eventually dropped due to underwhelming performances.
