A youth product of Bursaspor, Semih begun his career as a striker, moving to left wing, and eventually broke through professionally as a leftback in defense.[1] Semih transferred to Galatasaray in 1984 and helped them win two Süper Ligs, one Turkish Cup, one Chancellor Cup, two Turkish Super Cups, and one TSYD Cup. He eventually transferred to their rivals Fenerbahçe, and could not replicate their success.[2]
