During this period he was dual-registered with Ding Crusaders RFC.[3] In early 2023, Turner moved to New Zealand to represent Sumner RFC, who have a partnership with Bristol Bears.[4] Due to an injury crisis at the Crusaders, Turner was a late inclusion in their side for Round 11 against the Force,[5] making his debut in the same fixture.[6]
