Kadioglu has three assists in 31 appearances in all competitions this season.

The versatile full-back can play on the right and the left as well as wing back and also in midfield.
Kadioglu represents Turkey at international level and has seven caps for his country but he was born in the Netherlands and would therefore easily be able to get a work permit to play in England.
