Turkey seems a very hard place for ALM players to have a successful career. Only Jedinak seems to have had sustained success, Boyd did until he made a fateful club switch. Vuka and Smeltz were basically on the plane back as soon as they arrived.
Aziz Behich (Turkish Cypriot heritage) was there a long time as well. He had a few seasons with Champness. But yes seems one of the more difficult countries to adjust to, unless you are likely of Turkish or Balkans type heritage. I mean witness the recent incident of the ref being punched.
