Club career
Naki began his football career at Bayer 04 Leverkusen, but could never make it past its reserves.
On 2 February 2009, he was loaned to Rot Weiss Ahlen, playing eleven games and scoring four goals in his short spell.[1] On the 8th, he made his professional debut in the second division, coming on as a 79th-minute substitute in a match against FC Augsburg.[2]
On 25 June 2009, Naki left Bayer Leverkusen and signed a three-year contract with FC St. Pauli at the Millerntor-Stadion.[3] He caused controversy on 2 November when, after scoring his team's second goal away at rivals FC Hansa Rostock (2–0 win), he celebrated with a 'cut-throat' gesture towards the opposing fans.[4] He helped with seven league goals as St. Pauli returned to the top level.
International career
As a member of the Germany U-19 team, Naki represented the nation at the 2008 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship, played in the Czech Republic.[5]
