 Though he had played 16 matches in 1911, Turner never again turned out more than eight times in a season.A single match in 1913 was his last for eight years, and although he returned for eight more games spread over 1921 and 1922, he could muster only 200 runs from 16 innings,
with a highest score of 44 against Gloucestershire in June 1921; this was also the only occasion on which Turner acted as wicket-keeper.Turner was a strictly occasional bowler, only turning his arm over at all in the three seasons from 1909 to 1911.
