A New England Revolution legend, Turner is in his second stint with the club.
After breaking through for the Revs in 2018 as an undrafted college soccer product, Turner led New England to their first-ever Supporters’ Shield and was named MLS Goalkeeper of the Year in 2021.
Turner’s rapid rise propelled a blockbuster move to English Premier League giants Arsenal FC. Stints at Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace followed suit.
Midway through the 2025 season, the Revs brought their star goalkeeper back home on loan from France’s Lyon.
