Ege Tıknaz

Ege Tıknaz of SC Braga was born in Istanbul, Turkey on 17 August 2004 (age 22).

Ege Tıknaz, born on 17 August 2004 (age 22), is a Turkish centre midfielder with SC Braga. At a commanding 6ft 4in (1.93m), he has the frame for the middle of the pitch, though his senior career is still taking shape rather than demanding grand statements.

His clearest step forward came at Rio Ave in 2024-25, when he scored four goals in 28 league appearances. That remains his most productive league season and gave him a firmer footing in Portugal before the move on to Braga.

In 2026-27, Tıknaz has made six Liga Portugal appearances and six more in Conference League qualifying for SC Braga, taking him to 12 appearances in all competitions for the club. He has also appeared once for Turkey in the Nations League this season. His current market value is around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
