Onur Kaya (born 20 April 1986) is a Belgian professional footballer of Turkish descent who plays as an attacking midfielder for Mechelen.

Career

Kaya, who has dual Belgian-Turkish nationality, was born and raised in Brussels, but moved to the youth academy of Dutch Eredivisie club Vitesse in 2002.[2] There, he made his professional debut on 11 February 2006 in the away game against Heerenveen.[3] In May 2006, a few months after his debut, Kaya signed a contract four-year contract extension with Vitesse until the summer of 2010.[4] He played a key role for the team in the following years alongside Mads Junker, Theo Janssen and Ruud Knol.[5][6] However, in the 2007–08 and 2008–09 seasons, Kaya was mainly used as a substitute.[7] In the 2009–10 season, he scored twice in the away match against Heracles Almelo and thus won a starting spot in the next games.[8][9]

Before the start of the 2010–11 season, Kaya moved to Charleroi.[10] He immediately suffered relegation to the Belgian Second Division with the club in his first season.[11] After one season in the second tier, Charleroi immediately promoted back to the Belgian First Division A.[12] In the 2012–13 season, he grew out to become the main force in midfield for the club.[13]

In January 2014, Kaya signed with Lokeren. There, however, manager Peter Maes preferred other players in midfield and, partly due to the emerging talent Hans Vanaken, Kaya never won a place in the starting eleven.[14][15]

On 8 January 2015, he signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Zulte Waregem.[16] On 18 March 2017, the club won the Belgian Cup, beating Oostende in the final. A penalty shootout after a match with extra time (2–2 after regular time, 3–3 after 120 min) resulted in the second cup win in club history.[17] With this result, Zulte Waregem qualified for the group stage of the UEFA Europa League. There, Kaya played his former team Vitesse.[3]

On 24 July 2018, Kaya joined Mechelen on a three-year deal after four seasons with Zulte Waregem.[18] He grew into a team captain at the club.[19]
