As part of a development program organised by Cricket Australia and Hampshire County Cricket Club, six players were selected to spend the 2013 Australian winter playing for English club teams, with Turner playing for Chichester Priory Park in the Sussex Cricket League. The players also spent time training with the Australian national cricket team during the ongoing Ashes series. While in England, Turner was selected to make his first-class debut in July 2013 in a tour match for the Australians against Sussex, although he did not take a wicket from four overs on debut. Turner joined English Lancashire League club Todmorden as their professional for the 2016 season. In the Moorhouses T20 competition he scored 531 runs (highest score 123*) at an average of 88.5.
