İlhan Depe

Twelve goals in the 2023–2024 TFF 2. Lig made İlhan Depe the division's top scorer that season. It was the second in a row for Bucaspor 1928, who had come up as TFF 3. Lig champions the year before with Depe in the side. In two seasons there he made around 50 appearances and scored eight league goals across both campaigns.

He is a Bursa man, and Bursaspor took him into their academy in 2005 after two years at TSE Arabayatağı Spor. The senior debut came in 2010, but first-team football did not follow at home: loans to Şanlıurfaspor and İnegölspor gave him 50 matches and eight goals between 2011 and 2013, and he did not return.

What came next was a long stretch of appearances without goals. At Balıkesirspor he played 50 times and scored once. At Kardemir Karabükspor, 65 matches brought one more. Kasımpaşa signed him in 2018 and used him 59 times over two seasons, again for a single goal. The moves after that were shorter still — four appearances at Kayserispor, six at Altay, then 26 games and three goals at Denizlispor.

After the Bucaspor 1928 years he joined 1461 Trabzon in January 2024 and scored nine in 23 TFF 2. Lig appearances over half a season. He played 35 matches — 32 in the league, three in the cup — and scored seven in 2024–2025.

Every senior transfer of his career has been a free one. He was capped 12 times by Turkey at youth level, at under-15, under-16 and under-18, scoring once for the under-18s; the senior side has not called him up.
