At Dalymount Park, Turner made his club debut in an FAI Cup win over Malahide United on 19 August 2007.

He eventually signed for Partick Thistle.[1] He had had a trial at Rangers F.C. before signing for Partick [2].
He was released by the Firhill outfit midway through the 2008–09 campaign, however, and he returned to Ireland and signed for Dundalk.[3] He made his debut for the Lilywhites in the opening night defeat by Bohemians at Oriel Park on 6 March 2009 and scored his first club goals a fortnight later with two penalties in a 3–0 win at home to Drogheda United.
