Career
editCrewe Alexandra
editTurton began his professional career with Crewe Alexandra in 2010.[citation needed] He joined Northern Premier League Division One South club Market Drayton Town on loan along with Jason Oswell.[6] He made his debut, aged 18, for Crewe in a League Two match against Stockport County at Gresty Road on 30 April 2011, which ended in a 2–0 win for Crewe. He came on as a late substitute for Mat Mitchel-King.[7]
He scored his first Crewe goal in a 1–1 draw at Oldham Athletic on 21 September 2013.[8]
On 9 May 2017, Crewe announced that Turton had been offered a new contract,[9] though manager David Artell gave a 22 May deadline for a decision otherwise the offer would be rescinded.[10] On 23 May Turton reported for training but had not yet clarified his decision to Artell.[11] After a further 24 hours reflection, Turton decided not to accept the club's contract offer and opted to become a free agent.[12]
Blackpool
editIn June 2017, Turton signed a two-year contract with League One side Blackpool.[13] He made his Blackpool debut in the club's season-opening fixture at Bradford City on 5 August 2017,[14] and scored his first goal for the club in a 3-3 draw at Doncaster Rovers two weeks later.[15]
Turton signed a new one-year contract with the club in July 2020.[16]
Huddersfield Town
editTurton turned down the offer of a new contract at Blackpool, instead opting to sign for Huddersfield Town on 3 June 2021.[17]
He was released upon the expiration of his contract at the end of the 2024–25 season.[18][19]
Salford City
editOn 8 August 2025, Turton was signed by EFL League Two club Salford City,[20][21] and made his debut in the side's 2–1 win at Notts County the following day.[22] During his 500th senior career appearance, Turton scored his second Salford goal in a 2–0 win over Bromley on 23 April 2026.[23]
