Erbil Bozkurt (born 4 April 1990) is a former English footballer. He now works as the goalkeeping coach at club Hull City.[1]
Bozkurt began his coaching career whilst playing for Hampton & Richmond Borough. He was appointed as the academy goalkeeping coach at Leyton Orient on 1 February 2016. Bozkurt held this position until 1 April 2017, when he became the club's senior goalkeeping coach,[2] which saw him subsequently transfer to Orient as a player too.
On 7 August 2017, he moved again both as a player and a coach, this time to Boreham Wood.[3] Bozkurt retired as a player on 18 January 2018, when he left his position as goalkeeping coach at Boreham Wood for the equivalent U21 position at EFL Championship side Queens Park Rangers.[4] He would be promoted to the role of First Team goalkeeping coach on 4 June 2020,[4] ahead of the restart of football following the COVID-19 pandemic.
On 4 February 2023, Bozkurt would leave QPR for Wycombe Wanderers[5] in what would be a brief spell that lasted under a month.[6] On 30 June 2023, he became the goalkeeping coach of MK Dons under manager Graham Alexander.[7] On 5 July 2024, Hull City appointed Bozkurt as their First Team goalkeeping coach after Barry Richardson left the role earlier that summer.[1]
Bozkurt is of Turkish descent.[4]
