Club career
Brighton & Hove Albion
Turns debuted for the Brighton first-team in a 2–0 EFL Cup win over Swansea City on 22 September 2021.[3] He was involved in a Premier League matchday squad for the first time on 15 December, remaining as an unused substitute in the 1–0 home loss against Wolverhampton Wanderers.[4]
Leyton Orient loan: Promotion to League One
On 13 January 2023, Turns signed for EFL League Two club Leyton Orient on loan until the end of the season.[5] He made his debut for The O's the next day, playing in his first ever professional league game where he picked up a yellow card in the 0–0 home draw against Barrow.[6] Turns scored his first professional goal on 7 February, opening the scoreline in the 2–0 away win over Crewe.[7] Four days later, he scored again, scoring the equaliser, earning Leyton Orient a point in the 1–1 away draw at Walsall.[8] Turns helped Orient to promotion to League One, being confirmed during their 2–0 defeat at Gillingham on 18 April.[9] Four days later, Turns played in the 2–0 home win over Crewe, securing the league title.[10]
Signing new Brighton contract
On 3 July 2023, Turns signed a new contract with Brighton & Hove Albion that runs until June 2025, with a club option for an extra year.[11]
Second loan spell with Leyton Orient
On 1 August 2023, Turns returned to Leyton Orient, this time on a season-long loan.[12]
Loan to Crewe Alexandra
On 1 February 2024, after being recalled early from his loan at Leyton Orient, Turns went on loan to League Two side Crewe Alexandra until the end of the season.[13] He made his Crewe debut two days later in their goal-less draw at Tranmere Rovers.[14] In his third appearance, he scored his first Crewe goal in the side's 3–1 win at Stockport County on 13 February 2024.[15]
International career
Turns was called up to the Wales under-21 squad in March 2022 for the 2023 European under-21 Championship qualifying matches against Switzerland and Bulgaria.[16] He made his debut for the Young Dragons almost three months later on 11 June, playing the whole match of the 1–0 home defeat against the Netherlands in a Euro qualifier.[17]
