The 19-year-old striker, who rose to prominence after winning the Golden Boot at the 2010 AFC Under-19 Championship, was forced to surrender his passport last November after he was charged with a range of street gang offences.

Subsequently the former Sydney FC youth player's career has been on hold as he has not been available for Mlada Boleslav, who he hasn't played for since August.

Bulut had made seven appearances for Mlada early in the season, scoring one goal.

Mlada are currently fourth in the Czech Gambrinus Liga and in the running to qualify for the Europa League.

Bulut attended Burwood Local Court this week where an application to have his passport returned was granted with the prosecution acknowledging the charges he faces were likely to be reduced.

Mlada Boleslav sports director Ladislav Minar wrote a letter to the court as part of the application.

“Kerem is a young professional with undoubted talent representing one of the outstanding sporting talents in his chosen field in his age group in Australia," Minar said.

"He has the opportunity to further his career and with this will come economic rewards we believe will further distance him from those negative influences around him."

The FFA also wrote to the court as part of the application, with Bulut now available for the Young Socceroos at the 2011 Under-20 FIFA World Cup in Colombia later this year.

FFA head of national teams and football development John Boultbee said: "Allowing Kerem to resume his career will present him the much-needed opportunity to separate himself from his current situation.

"We are aware of the need for him to be in a stable, supportive situation, away from less positive influences."
