Matt Turner (soccer)
Matthew Charles Turner (born June 24, 1994) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a goalkeeper for Major League Soccer club New England Revolution, on loan from Ligue 1 club Lyon, and the United States national team.
Not playing soccer until 14 years old, Turner played for Fairfield University and went undrafted in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft, though signed with Major League Soccer club New England Revolution after a successful preseason trial. After two seasons he became the club's primary goalkeeper, later winning the MLS Goalkeeper of the Year award in 2021. In 2022, Turner joined Premier League club Arsenal and the following year moved to Nottingham Forest. In his second season, he went on loan with Crystal Palace, where he won the FA Cup in 2025.
Turner made his debut for the United States in January 2021 at age 27, quickly becoming the team's starting goalkeeper. With the U.S., he won the CONCACAF Gold Cup in 2021 and the CONCACAF Nations League in 2023 and 2024, winning the best goalkeeper award for the 2021 and 2023 competitions.
A native of Park Ridge, New Jersey, Turner attended Saint Joseph Regional High School. Turner did not play soccer until he was 14 years old, initially taking up the sport to stay in shape for his primary sports of basketball and baseball. He started playing in goal when the only other goalkeeper for his freshman team was injured at tryouts.
Turner spent his entire collegiate career at Fairfield University. He made a total of 39 appearances for the Stags and finished with 21 shutouts. He was named to the All-Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference second team during his senior season. In 2013, ESPN SportsCenter's "Not Top 10" segment featured him as the #1 worst play of the day for putting the ball in his own net after it bounced high off the crossbar.
He also played in the Premier Development League for Jersey Express, leading the team to the PDL national semifinals in 2014.
Turner was not selected in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft, but he signed a professional contract with Major League Soccer (MLS) club New England Revolution on March 3, 2016, after a successful preseason trial.
On April 29, he joined United Soccer League club Richmond Kickers on loan and made his professional debut a day later in a 1–0 victory over Toronto FC II. During his two loan stints with the Kickers, Turner recorded seven shutouts in 27 starts.
