Tolgay Özbey (born 12 April 1986) is an Australian - Turkish football (soccer) player, who currently plays in India for Mohun Bagan.
Biography
Early in his career, Özbey was recognized for his contributions as a Striker with Blacktown City Demons during which he was chosen as the NSW Premier League Player Of The Year in 2006 and won the competition's top goal scorer award (Andreas Golden Boot Award) back-to-back in 2006 and 2007.[1]
The successful period in 2006 lead to his recruitment on loan by A-League side Sydney FC for their 2005-06 season finals campaign. Özbey's first appearance for Sydney came on the 12 February 2006, as a substitute in the first leg of the semi-final against Adelaide United at Hindmarsh Stadium. Although Özbey was given a few minutes of game time during the final minutes of the first leg of the semi final against Adelaide, he remained an unused substitute for the rest of Sydney FC's campaign in which Sydney became eventual champions with their 1-0 victory over the Central Coast Mariners.
Özbey's stint at Sydney FC lead to his signing by former mentor Nick Theodorakopoulos who had just taken over charge at A-League side Newcastle Jets for the 2006-07 season. Özbey's time at Newcastle didn't last long after Theodorakopoulos was sacked early on in the season.
Following his attempt at an A-League career, Özbey returned to the NSW Premier League in 2008 with the Marconi Stallions. After a disappointing year with the Stallions, he signed with Sydney Olympic FC for the 2008 season. Özbey had previously played at Sydney Olympic FC during his youth career.
In July 2009, he had trials in Turkey [2] and was signed soon after by Bursa Nilüfer S.A.Ş. [3] (Bursa Nilüferspor) and participated in the TFF Third League (TFF 3. Lig).
Following the completion of the TFF 3. Lig 2009 season in which Bursa Nilüfer S.A.Ş. finished fourth and missed the opportunity to participate in the TFF 3. Lig Promotion Group, Özbey returned to Australia to again team up with Aytek Genç and many of his old comrades from the successful 2006 and 2007 Blacktown City Demons teams to play for Blacktown City FC in the NSW Premier League 2010 season.[4]
The 2010 NSW Premier League season proved to be fruitful for Özbey at Blacktown as he won a league record, third Golden Boot award with 22 goals from 19 matches bringing his total goals scored wearing the Blacktown guernsey to 76 from 75 matches.[5] Furthermore, Özbey was voted the 2010 NSW Premier League Player Of The Year.[6]
Following the completion of the 2010 NSW Premier League Finals Series, Özbey joined Indian club, East Bengal FC [7] who will be competing in the All India Football Federation (AIFF) I-League as well as the AFC Cup to which East Bengal FC qualified after defeating arch rivals Mohun Bagan AC 1-0 in the 2010 AIFF Federation Cup (India).[8]
Tolgay Ozbey switched to cross-city rivals Mohun Bagan for the 2012-13 season in a 2 year deal worth Rs 3.3 crore.[9]
Personal life
Özbey is of Turkish descent [10] and is nicknamed Tolly.[11].
