Ege Tıknaz, born on 17 August 2004 (age 22), is a Turkish centre midfielder with SC Braga. At 6ft 4in (1.93m), he brings an imposing frame to the middle of the pitch, though his profile is still that of a developing player rather than a finished article.
His strongest senior league return came at Rio Ave in 2024-25, when he scored four goals in 28 appearances. That season gave him a clearer footing in Portuguese football and helped lift his market value to around £4.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
He is now at Braga, where he has made two Liga Portugal appearances in 2026-27. For now, his career is a straightforward one: a young Turkish midfielder building senior experience in Portugal, with Rio Ave his most productive spell so far and Braga the next test.
