Matthew Charles Turner (born June 24, 1994) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a goalkeeper for Premier League club Crystal Palace, on loan from Nottingham Forest, and the United States national team.[4]
Not playing soccer until 14 years old, Turner played for Fairfield University and went undrafted in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft, though signed with Major League Soccer club New England Revolution after a successful preseason trial. After 2 seasons he became the club's primary goalkeeper, later winning the MLS Goalkeeper of the Year award in 2021. In 2022 he joined Premier League club Arsenal, where he won the FA Community Shield in 2023.[5] In the following 2023-24 season he signed for Nottingham Forest for £10 million ($12.75m).[6][7]
Turner made his debut for the United States in January 2021 at age 27, quickly becoming the team's starting goalkeeper. With the U.S., he won the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup and 2023 CONCACAF Nations League, winning the best goalkeeper award for both competitions.[8][9]
