Club career[]
Turkey[]
Tekke was born in the small town of Köprübaşı, in the province of Trabzon. He joined Trabzonspor, the major team in the area. Tekke was still in his teens when he started to appear in the first team. In 45 matches that he played between 1994–97, he scored six goals. At the beginning of the 1997–98 season he was loaned out to Altay S.K. of İzmir, where he scored eight goals in 24 matches. In a 5–4 defeat to Galatasaray, he scored a hat-trick. However a few weeks later he broke his leg and was out of the game for six months. Upon his return to Trabzonspor, Tekke played another 38 matches and scored six goals before he transferred to Gaziantepspor in the summer of 2000. In this period he made his first appearance for the Turkey national team.
In 2002, Tekke returned to Trabzonspor and was given the captaincy. This was the time Tekke reached the peak of his career. In the 2004–05 season he managed to become the league's top goal scorer with 31 goals, 7 goals ahead of the second placed player and was second for the Golden Foot. During his spell with Trabzonspor, he won two medals for winning the Turkish Cup in consecutive seasons.

In July 2006, he signed for Zenit Saint Petersburg. On 6 August 2006, Tekke scored on his debut for the club, as he came off the bench against Shinnik Yaroslavl and scored the only goal of the game for his team to win 1–0. Tekke scored the winning goal in the UEFA Cup group stage in a 3–2 victory over AE Larissa. He assisted the second in the 2008 UEFA Cup Final win over Rangers. On 21 October 2008, Tekke scored in the 1–1 draw with BATE Borisov in the Champions League. On 3 February 2010, Tekke signed a three-year contract with FC Rubin Kazan. He only played five games before he decided to return to Turkey, transferring to Beşiktaş.

On 1 September 2010, Tekke signed a two-year contract with Besiktas J.K. However, he was only able to play a total of two games before he was sent to Ankaragücü, in the 2010–11 transfer window. In the five matches he played for Ankaragücü, he scored three goals. In the summer transfer season of 2011, the newly promoted team, Orduspor, declared that they had purchased Tekke from Ankaragücü. Tekke was given the number 23 and the captaincy of the team. He then moved to Orduspor and retired soon after. He then became a manager.
