Cenk Şen

Before he settled at left-back, Şen was scoring for the Turkish Under-19 futsal side, finding the net against Montenegro and the Netherlands while still on the books at Antalyaspor. That remains the only national-team involvement on his record: no senior cap for Turkey has followed.

Antalyaspor took him into their youth ranks in 2013 and kept him there for five years. The step into professional football came in 2018, with a loan to Serik Spor that was extended in January 2019 and ran until May 2020. In the 2020–21 season he went out on loan again, this time to Bodrum FK, and that move became the defining one.

In August 2021 he left Antalyaspor as a free agent and signed a permanent contract at Bodrum, the fee reported as free. Two promotions followed. The club won the TFF 2. Lig championship to reach the 1. Lig, then took the 1. Lig play-off title to go up to the Süper Lig. Şen made 32 appearances in the top flight in 2024–25 and scored once.

His next move was slower to arrive than the interest around it. Gaziantep FK were linked with him, but the destination turned out to be Kayserispor, and the transfer had to wait on the club's ban being lifted. He arrived in Kayseri on 19 July 2026, ahead of the 2026–27 season.
