Background
Born 9 January 1989 in Oldham, Turner attended the Radclyffe School.
Salford
Turner first joined Salford at the age of 14 from his amateur club Waterhead R.L.F.C. in Oldham. He captained the England under 18s team and was voted Academy Player and Young Player of the Year in 2007, before establishing himself in the Reds' first team for 2 seasons.
Hull
Turner joined Hull from Salford at the start of the 2010 season. The sought after signing is hoping for some successful years to come with Hull and has enjoyed runs at centre and stand off since throwing on the black and white jersey. Twice in 2012 Turner played for the England Knights team. In July 2012, Turner signed a 2-year contract with St Helens starting from 2013 season.[2]
St. Helens
Turner was voted St Helens Player of the Season for 2013. After 9 consecutive wins in the 2014 season (1 in the Challenge Cup) the Saints lost 2 consecutive games against the Wigan Warriors and the Widnes Vikings. Jordan was determined to make the club bounce back from two moral killer defeats. As of the 24th of April 2014, Jordan has scored three tries this season (all in the Super League) against the Wigan Warriors, Catalans Dragons, and the Castleford Tigers. St. Helens reached the 2014 Super League Grand Final and Turner was selected to play at loose forward in their 14-6 victory over Wigan Warriors.[3]
