Jake Edward Turner (born 25 February 1999) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for League Two club Gillingham.
Turner was born in Wilmslow, [2] and grew up with older sister Millie, who is also a footballer. [3]
Turner began his career as an outfield player, and was suggested by Rene Meulensteen — who was a personal friend with the Turner family — to try being a goalkeeper due to his size. He spent the next few weeks training as a goalkeeper with Meulensteen and when first playing the position in a Sunday league football match he was spotted by Bolton Wanderers scouts who were impressed with what they saw which lead to Bolton signing him for their academy. [4]
He moved on loan to Stalybridge Celtic in December 2017, [5] but was recalled without making a first-team appearance. [6] He then moved on loan to Frickley Athletic in March 2018. [7] He returned on loan to Stalybridge in August 2018, [8] making 11 league and 1 cup appearances. [6] He moved on loan to Darlington in March 2019. [9]
He signed for Newcastle United in July 2019, [10] saying he was persuaded to do so by former Bolton teammate Sammy Ameobi, who had begun his career at Newcastle. [11] In August 2020 he moved on a season-long loan to Morecambe. [12] [13] He was recalled by Newcastle in January 2021. [14] [15]
On 7 August 2021, he joined League Two club Colchester United on loan until January 2022. [16] [17] He made his club debut on 7 September in Colchester's 1–0 EFL Trophy defeat to Gillingham. [18] He became first-choice goalkeeper after an injury to Shamal George, and was praised by local media for his performances. [19] [20] The loan ended in January 2022. [21]
On 30 June 2022, Turner signed for League Two side Gillingham. [22] [23] Initially a back up to first choice goalkeeper Glenn Morris, Turner made his league debut as a 41st minute substitute in a 0–2 home loss to Northampton Town. [24] Turner was limited to 7 league appearances in his first season with the club, [25] but started the 2023–24 season as Neil Harris' first choice goalkeeper. [26]

Turner was first called up to the England under-18 team in September 2016 ahead of two fixtures against Sweden. [31] He made his debut in November 2016, keeping a clean sheet in a 0–0 draw with France, a win which helped the Three Lions secure the International Trophy. [32] [33] He made his second and final appearance at this level in a 2–1 friendly win over Qatar under-19s in Doha. [34]
