Bülent Akın (born 28 August 1978) is a Belgian-born Turkish former footballer.
Akin's potential was noticed after Galatasaray legend Gheorghe Hagi remarked on how well the young midfielder had marked him in a match between Galatasaray and Akin's club, Denizilispor. Galatasaray subsequently signed Akin, but he failed to live up to the expectation.[1] Nonetheless, he managed to win the UEFA Super Cup in 2000 with the club.
In July 2002 he joined English side Bolton Wanderers.[2] He made his debut in a League Cup defeat to Bury, a game in which he was sent off.[3] He made one appearance for Bolton in the league; a 2–0 defeat to Aston Villa on 1 January 2003.[4] He was released by Bolton in April 2003.[5]
Born in Belgium to Turkish parents, Bülent was a youth international for Turkey.[6]
