Oliver Anthony Turton (born 6 December 1992) is an English professional footballer who most recently played as a defender for League Two club Crewe Alexandra.

Career

In March 2011, Manchester-born Turton joined Northern Premier League Division One South club Market Drayton Town on loan along with Jason Oswell.[3] He made his debut, aged 18, for Crewe in a League Two match against Stockport County at Gresty Road on 30 April 2011, which ended in a 2–0 win for Crewe. He came on as a late substitute for Mat Mitchel-King.[4]

He scored his first Crewe goal in a 1–1 draw at Oldham Athletic on 21 September 2013.[5]

On 9 May 2017, Crewe announced that Turton had been offered a new contract by the club,[6] though manager David Artell gave a 22 May deadline for a decision otherwise the offer would be ripped up.[7] On 23 May Turton reported for training but hadn't yet clarified his decision to Artell.[8] After a further 24 hours reflection, Turton decided not to accept the club's contract offer and opted to become a free agent.[9] In June, it was announced that he had signed a two-year contract with League One side Blackpool.[10]
