Yaren İzzet Sözer (born 19 April 1997) is an Australian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Heidelberg United.[1]
Sözer signed for A-League Men side Central Coast Mariners in October 2021 as a backup goalkeeper to Mark Birighitti.[2] He made his debut for the Mariners in a win over Wollongong Wolves on 1 December 2021 in the 2021 FFA Cup, coming on after 20 minutes when Birighitti was sent off.[3] With Birighitti suspended, Sözer made his A-League Men debut in the following game against Macarthur, however, he was forced from the field in the first half due to injury.[4]
Sözer made a third competitive appearance for the Mariners against Sydney FC in the opening round of the 2022 Australia Cup in July 2022. The game went to a penalty shoot-out, which the Mariners lost despite Sözer saving Adam Le Fondre's attempt.[5]
Sözer was a member of the Mariners side that won the 2022–23 A-League Men Championship. He departed the club at the conclusion of the season.
Sozer played for the Australia under-20 side in a win over Myanmar at the 2016 AFF U-19 Youth Championship on 14 September 2016.[6]
