Turner was born in Adelaide and her first name is actually Madonna. She grew up playing netball at an elite level, representing Australia at under 17, 19 and 21 level and featuring in the South Australia National Under-21 Championships in 2015.[1] This led to her being signed by the New South Wales Swifts ahead of the 2016 season, where she played every game that year for the Swifts including the narrow loss in the Grand Final to the Queensland Firebirds.[1] She went on to win the Swifts Coaches Award in both the 2017 and 2018 seasons.[3]
She has represented Australia in the Fast5 Netball World Series.[4]
Turner currently sits on the board of the Australian Netball Players’ Association.[5]
