Luke Turner
Luke Turner is an Irish defender born in Dublin on 20 May 2002. He developed in Shamrock Rovers’ academy before moving to Aberdeen in 2019, where he remained in the development squad and went out on loan to Turriff United and Wexford FC. A 2021–22 loan to Cliftonville gave Turner a sustained senior platform, and he helped the club win the NIFL League Cup after playing the full 120 minutes of the final against Coleraine. He was also named Northern Ireland Football Writers’ Association Young Player of the Year that season. After Aberdeen released him in 2022, Cliftonville signed Turner permanently, and he made 123 appearances during three seasons in North Belfast. On 30 January 2024, he joined boyhood club St Patrick’s Athletic on a multi-year contract. Turner scored twice in a 3–0 win over Sligo Rovers and helped St Patrick’s Athletic win the 2023–24 Leinster Senior Cup.
