Çalık was born in Dinslaken, West Germany.
He joined for Galatasaray from 2. Bundesliga club Rot-Weiss Essen in June 2007.
He wore the 61 shirt which is the car number plate location codes for Trabzon, Turkey, where his parents are from.[2] During his days at Galatasaray, he has been used as a right winger by Galatasaray coach Karl Heinz Feldkamp, as he has a very good acceleration and pace.
He signed for Ankara club Gençlerbirliği afterwards in 2010 which was followed by brief spells at Kayseri Erciyesspor and Şanlıurfaspor.
Çalık retired in summer 2019.[3]
Çalik has dual Turkish-German nationality and was eligible for either national team. He made his debut for the Germany U-21 squad in 2007, but switched to the Turkey national team due to better prospects of being called up to the senior side.[4]
