Feyenoord[edit]
From Maassluis, in South Holland,[2] in 2012 he made the switch from Excelsior Maassluis to join the football academy at Feyenoord.[3] He moved through the age group teams and signed his first professional contract with Feyenoord in June 2020.[4] Shortly afterward he suffered a severe knee injury that curtailed his season very early.[5] He had successful surgery on the cruciate ligament in his knee in October 2020 and began a period of rehabilitation.[6] In March 2021 he signed a contract extension with Feyenoord, with Feyenoord technical director Frank Arnesen commenting that between the COVID-19 pandemic and the knee injury he had not been given a chance to prove himself.[7]
TOP Oss[edit]
In August 2022 Gündüz agreed a free transfer to TOP Oss following a short trial.[8][9] He made his professional debut on 5 September 2022 for TOP Oss in the Eerste Divisie against Jong PSV.[10]
