On 27 March 2014, Turgott joined League Two side Dagenham & Redbridge on loan for the remainder of the 2013–14 season.[18] Turgott made his Dagenham & Redbridge two days after signing for the club, making his first start for them, in a 1–0 win over Oxford United.[19] Turgott went on to make five appearance for the club.

Meeting a right-wing cross from Sean Clohessy, Turgott hit a first-time volley from 18 yards (16 m) past the Stevenage goalkeeper, Chris Day.[26] In May 2016, he was released from Leyton Orient when it was announced that he would not be retained when his contract expired.[27]
