He wears the jersey number 41, which is also the license plate for Kocaeli. His excellent displays in 2007-08 season for Kocaelispor helped his team to win promotion from TFF First League. He started his professional football career with Beşiktaş, and after five seasons he was transferred to Kocaelispor from where he headed back to Beşiktaş again after three successful seasons. His second spell at Beşiktaş was not a very happy one, leaving the club after two seasons. Serdar is a skillful forward with flair and fierce shots.
