Professional career

Inan began his professional career with the Solna Vikings in 2003 and went on to play two seasons for the club before moving to Turkey where he signed with Fenerbahçe for the 2005–06 season.

In 2006, Inan signed with Alpella where he went on to play two seasons for the club. After spending the 2008–09 season with Kepez Belediyesi, Inan joined Antalya BB in July 2009 where he spent the 2009–10 season.[1]

On 1 December 2010, Inan signed with Oyak Renault for the rest of the 2010–11 season.[2] [3]

In 2011, Inan returned to Sweden and signed with the Solna Vikings for 2011–12 season, joining the club for a second stint. In January 2012, he left Solna after appearing in 14 games and went back to Turkey where he signed with Hacettepe Üniversitesi for the rest of the season.

Following the death of his father in April 2012, Inan returned to Sweden once again and signed with the Stockholm Eagles for the 2012–13 season.[4]

On August 17, 2013, Inan signed with the Solna Vikings for the 2013–14 season, returning to the club for a third stint.[5] However, he managed just nine games in 2013–14 after an injury sustained three games into the season kept him out of action for four months. Despite his poor showing, he re-signed with the club in August 2014 for the 2014–15 season.[6]

Inan re-signed with AIK of the Swedish 2nd division North Svealand on September 3, 2020.[7]
