Career
[edit]Born in Harrow, London, Turner joined Cambridge United's youth system as a 16-year-old, after leaving Aston Villa's youth academy.[4] Still only 17, he made his debut on 12 April 2003 in the Third Division match against Exeter City: entering the game as a 76th-minute substitute, he scored the winning goal in the fourth minute of stoppage time.[5][6] He scored a hat-trick in November 2004 in a League Two match against Rushden & Diamonds to give Cambridge a 3–1 victory.[7] In late 2005 he spent a month on loan at Aldershot in an attempt to recover his goalscoring form,[8] and joined Rushden & Diamonds on loan in January 2006.[5] Despite being knocked unconscious during his first appearance, three days later he signed a permanent contract until the end of the 2005–06 season, at which point he was offered another deal but preferred to join Grays Athletic.[9] Grays loaned him out to Conference South sides Braintree and Bishop's Stortford[10] before releasing him at the end of the 2006–07 season when he joined King's Lynn.[11] In January 2009, he left the club by mutual consent[12] and signed for Corby Town, with whom he won promotion to the Conference North in 2009.[9]
