Turner began his career at Hull City, then moved to Walsall for one and a bit seasons. He was then being brought to 3rd Division North side Doncaster, by manager David Menzies, midway through the 1933–34 season. Scoring on his debut on 16 December in a 4–2 home victory against Gateshead, that season he netted 14 goals over 22 games as Rovers finished the season in 5th position.

The following season he was the leading scorer at the club with 26, including 1 cup goal, an impressive achievement for a winger. On 16 February 1935, Turner scored 5 in a 7–1 win against visitors New Brighton. He also scored in five consecutive matches and then six consecutive matches during this 1934–35 season, a season where Doncaster finished as League Champions.

In 1935–36, the newly promoted club finished in 18th place out of 22 in the 2nd Division, but Turner still scored 10 times including a cup goal, ending up as 3rd top scorer behind Reg Baines and Dizzie Burton.
