Club Career

Trabzonspor

Due to prolific goalscorer Fatih Tekke leaving the club, and the club having difficulties with results, Trabzonspor signed Bulut for €1.8 million on a four-year contract. He was given the number 10 jersey which was previously worn by Hami Mandirali. His first match was on 5 August 2006 against Kayserispor. The following week he scored his first goal for the club in a 1–1 draw against Manisaspor. Overall, Bulut scored 88 goals in 197 official games for Trabzonspor, winning the 2010 Turkish Super Cup as well as the 2009–10 Turkish Cup, scoring in the final against rivals Fenerbahce during a 3–1 win.

Toulouse

On 28 June 2011, Bulut signed with French club Toulouse FC for €4.8 million. He made his Ligue 1 debut against Ajaccio on 6 August 2011. One week later, he scored his first goal for the club against Dijon, before getting a second goal for Toulouse against Nancy in a 1–0 win. In the seventeenth week of the season, Bulut scored the winning goal in a 2–1 victory against Evian. The only other two goals he scored for the club were both against Lyon, including one from an outstanding long range shot.

Galatasaray

On 26 June 2012, Bulut joined Galatasaray on loan until the end of the season. He scored two goals on his debut for the club against their rivals Fenerbahce during the 2012 Turkish Super Cup. Galatasaray won the game 3–2, with Bulut being named Man of the Match.

On 20 August 2012, Bulut made his first appearance in the 2012–13 Super Lig season against Kasimpasa as he was included in the starting eleven, and he scored a brace for Galatasaray as the game finished 2–1.
