[6] He was immediately picked up as one of the brightest and most talented players in Australia, and it was rumored early on that he would either be signed by Sydney FC to the first-team, but was also linked with clubs in Spain and Turkey.

He immediately went on trial with several clubs in Europe, including FK Mladá Boleslav after recommendations from Sydney FC senior manager Vítězslav Lavička.

[12] Due to his criminal charge he was absent from the club from October 2010 to April 2011 where his first game back was in a 3–1 loss to Viktoria Plzeň on 8 May.

[16] On 6 January 2012, it was reported that Mladá Boleslav agreed to release Bulut from his contract to allow him to move to Turkish Süper Lig club Eskişehirspor, who had offered him a six-month deal with the option to buy him at the end of the loan period after the 2011–12 season.

He re-debuted in a 2–0 home victory against Sparta Praha on 22 April, where he was substituted onto the field in the 90th minute for Jan Chramosta.

He was registered with number #33 for the 2012–13 Gambrinus liga season and made his first appearance in a 1–0 home victory against Hradec Králové on 23 September 2012.

On 6 November 2012, Bulut scored in the 66th minute of Mladá Boleslva's second-leg Czech Cup 1–1 away draw against Třinec.

[26] Initially registered for the AFC Champions League, Bulut’s registration for the A-League was accepted on 27 February 2015 as an injury replacement player.

[28][29] Despite being charged by police with intimidation, Bulut was cleared to play for Wanderers in their fixture against Melbourne Victory,[30] who they would lose 1–0 to on 13 March 2015.

[35] He departed the club with six goals in 13 appearances, following the end of his contract on 30 May 2015 which upset fans who posted on social media and held banners, asking the Wanderers to re-sign the striker.

[37][38] Kerem Bulut made his Greek Super League debut for Iraklis FC on 30 August 2015 as a 65th-minute substitute for Lefteris Intzoglou in the 0–1 home loss to Panionios.

[39] On 14 September 2015, Kerem Bulut made his first starting appearance in the Greek Super League for Iraklis at home to Levadiakos.

[41] Bulut re-signed for Western Sydney Wanderers on 24 August 2016, following a successful trial and replaced Italian forward Federico Piovaccari, who was released at the end of the previous season.

[44] With Western Sydney Wanderers facing a goal-drought mid-season, Bulut was dropped from the squad by Tony Popovic despite the coach stating that he was “fit and not selected”.

Bulut moved to third tier Turkish side Menemen Belediye where he had a successful season scoring 9 goals in 28 games.

[50] On 17 November 2010, Bulut was arrested, and on 18 November faced Burwood Court charged with a range of alleged offences including malicious wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm; robbery in company; participate in criminal group; assist criminal activity, affray and intimidation.

Bulut, along with Ahmed Nahle, Rashid Ramadan and Ismail Hadife plotted to intimidate two court witnesses.

[51] Ahmed Nahle, Rashid Ramadan, Ismail Hadife and a 16-year-old boy allegedly attacked the men with knives in a carpark in Auburn in September.

[54] The actions of Bulut are directly linked to previous crimes committed by members of MBM which involved the wounding of the same victims.

Arrests for affray, assault and offensive language culminated in Bulut being held in remand at Silverwater Prison.

[74] Bulut then played another 90 minutes in a 3–2 loss to Costa Rica on 3 August, where his flick-on header was touched by Thomas Oar to score Australia's first goal.

[79] Kerem Bulut made his debut for the Australia Olympic football team in a friendly under 23's international against the Philippines at the Al Nasr Stadium in Dubai, UAE on 16 February 2012.
