Turnbull was born at Dunedin in 1866.[3] Considered a "more than useful bowler", he played club cricket in the city for Grange Cricket Club from the 1884–85 season and served on the club's committee.[4][5][6] After returning to Dunedin, having left for New South Wales in 1890,[7] he also played for Albion Cricket Club, captaining the side during the 1895–96 season.[8]
Considered a solid, although slow scoring, batsman,[9] a good change bowler and "a very capable field",[10] Turnbull was considered to be in consideration for a place in the Otago provincial team during the 1895–96 season.[11] In the event he made only a single first-class appearance for side. In a match at Carisbrook in January 1897 against a touring Queensland side he scored a duck in the first innings and a single run in the second; he did not bowl during the match.[1]
Two of Turnbull's brothers, Alfred and Percival, played alongside him for Grange Cricket Club,[4][12] with Percival Turnbull having played a single first-class match for Otago during the 1884–85 season.[3] Albie Turnbull died at Dunedin Hospital whilst undergoing radium treatment in November 1929.[13] He was aged 63.[2]
