Club career

[edit]

On 14 May 2016, the last day of the 2015–16 Bundesliga season, Yıldırım made his first-team return from injury coming onto the pitch in the 77th minute of Werder Bremen's 1–0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt which kept Werder in the Bundesliga.[3]

On 30 June 2016, Yıldırım signed a two-year contract with 2. Bundesliga side Fortuna Düsseldorf.[4]

On 31 August 2017, he transferred to league rivals Eintracht Braunschweig having agreed a two-year contract until summer 2019.[5][6] At the end of the season, following Braunschweig's relegation to the 3. Liga, he was released from his contract.[7]

In September 2018, Yıldırım trialled with 2. Bundesliga SV Darmstadt 98.[8] Three weeks later, in early October, Darmstadt announced their decision to not sign Yıldırım.[9]

In January 2020, after being without a club for 1.5 years, Yıldırım joined Turkish second-tier side Menemenspor.[10] He left the club at the end of his contract on 31 May 2020.[11]
