Career
In March 2011, Manchester-born Turton joined Northern Premier League Division One South club Market Drayton Town on loan along with Jason Oswell. He made his debut, aged 18, for Crewe in a League Two match against Stockport County at Gresty Road on 30 April 2011, which ended in a 2–0 win for Crewe. He came on as a late substitute for Mat Mitchel-King.
He scored his first Crewe goal in a 1–1 draw at Oldham Athletic on 21 September 2013.
On 9 May 2017, Crewe announced that Turton had been offered a new contract by the club, though manager David Artell gave a 22 May deadline for a decision otherwise the offer would be ripped up. On 23 May Turton reported for training but hadn't yet clarified his decision to Artell. After a further 24 hours reflection, Turton decided not to accept the club's contract offer and opted to become a free agent. In June, it was announced that he had signed a two-year contract with League One side Blackpool.
