Konyaspor signing
Altan arrives on a two-year contract from Konyaspor despite competition from a number of other Superleague sides. The 29-year-old former Adanaspor AS and Kocaelispor player, who joined Konyaspor in the summer of 2003, also has the option of a further season in Istanbul when his initial deal expires.
Similar deal
The 27-year-old Ragip, recruited from Sakaryaspor, has signed a similar two-year contract. He started out at Trabzonspor in 1997, and after loan spells with Mersin Idmanyurdu and Orduspor, moved to Akçaabat Sebatspor in 2000. He switched to Sakaryaspor in 2003 and made an impression this season despite that club's relegation.
