Nathan Turner is an Australian rugby football player who played rugby league professionally for the South Queensland Crushers.

Playing career

Turner originally played rugby union as a fullback for the Sunnybank club in Brisbane. In 1994 he was selected for the Australian under-21 tour of Africa but withdrew due to his planned switch of codes the next year.[1]

Turner signed with the new South Queensland Crushers rugby league franchise in 1995 and played in their inaugural team on 11 March. However Turner did not establish himself and went onto play in only six matches over the next two seasons. In 1997 Turner joined the Oldham Bears in 1997's Super League II.[2] However Turner returned to Queensland without playing a match after suffering a foot injury.[3]
