Turner made his Hampshire first-class debut against Glamorgan in 1989 at the County Ground. The four day format of the game was where Turner was most at home. It was not until the 1992 season that Turner made his one-day debut for the club against Gloucestershire.

After the 1993 County Championship season Turner was released by Hampshire, having struggled to make regular appearances in the first team. Turner played 24 first-class and 17 one-day matches for the club, taking 54 wickets at an average of 36.38.
