Steve Turner, (born on the 10 October 1984 in Sydney, New South Wales) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer. He plays the position of winger for the Melbourne Storm club in the National Rugby League (NRL).
Turner was educated at St Dominics College.[1] He started playing rugby league as a seven-year-old with Cambridge Park in Sydney's west. Also an under-15 state level touch football player, Turner was signed by the Penrith Panthers in 2000. He was a standout for Penrith's Harold Matthews side and won selection in the NSW under-17 team. In 2001, he was the Panthers SG Ball Player of the Year. During this time he was coached by current Gold Coast Titans coach, John Cartwright. He went on to play for NSW under-19s and the Junior Kangaroos and in 2002 he made his first grade debut for the Panthers against the Melbourne Storm. Turner then signed with Melbourne the next year. The reason given for the move to the Storm was was that he was overshadowed by Queensland representatative fullback Rhys Wesser.
In 2007, Turner was to be one of the inaugural members of the newly admitted Gold Coast Titans side after he announced in 2006 that he had signed a new deal to the Gold Coast. Turner agreed to join the Titans until the end of 2009 in June only to later change his mind and re-sign with the Storm for another three years.
On 16 January, the Titans agreed to release Turner to the Storm in exchange for two players [2]. In 2007 Steve Turner was a member of the Storm's Premiership winning side.
