He made his Ekstraklasa debut against Zagłębie Lubin on 7 October 2007. He was the second Azerbaijani to have played in Ekstraklasa. Dyskobolia finished the 2007–08 Ekstraklasa season in third.

On 9 January 2009, he returned to Azerbaijan to join FC Baku.

In June 2013, Yunisoğlu signed for Sumgayit.[1] However, two weeks later Yunisoğlu cancelled his contract with the club and signed with Turkish side Denizlispor.[2] In April 2014, Yunisoğlu left Denizlispor, citing unpaid wages.[3] Yunisoğlu was made a free agent when Araz-Naxçıvan folded and withdrew from the Azerbaijan Premier League on 17 November 2014.[4]

After nearly a year without a club, Yunisoğlu signed for Ravan Baku on 21 October 2015.[5]
