Bulut rose to prominence after winning the Golden Boot at the 2010 AFC Under-19 Championship.

But the former Sydney FC striker's career has been on hold in recent months after being forced to surrender his passport following criminal charges relating to violent crimes.

Last week a magistrate returned the 19-year-old's passport to him after being told the charges would be drastically reduced.

Bulut flew out of Sydney on Thursday to return to the Czech Republic where he wasn't played since August, having made seven appearances earlier in the season, scoring one goal.

Bulut told the Daily Telegraph on Thursday he wants to right his wrongs.

"I've learned from my mistakes and I've got to move on," Bulut said. "Everyone deserves a second chance, I'm going to make everyone proud again."

Bulut insisted he was not a member of the gang Muslim Brotherhood Movement who are linked to criminal behaviour.

He added he had grew up around the gang but now wanted to follow a 'different path'.

"I've grown up in Auburn and they (MBM) have been around me since I was a little kid,” Bulut said.

“What they are is what they are, what I am is what I am. They choose their path, I choose a different path.”
