Oldham Athletic

On 31 January 2014, Turner signed for Oldham Athletic for an undisclosed fee on an 18-month contract. [7] Turner had several hamstring injuries at the start of the 2014–15 season, which caused him to miss most games up to January 2015.[ citation needed ] Turner made his first start of the season away at Leyton Orient on 21 February 2015 on the right wing but was replaced in the 60th minute due to another injury.[ citation needed ] His next appearance came on 17 March 2015 in which he replaced Conor Wilkinson; he scored his first goal for Oldham in this match, with a neat finish into the bottom corner.[ citation needed ] He started the next two games and scored two goals against local rivals Rochdale.[ citation needed ]

Turner joined League Two club York City on 17 September 2015 on a one-month loan, [8] and debuted two days later as a starter in a 2–2 home draw with Carlisle United.
