Scout report

Experienced headFull-back

O. Turton is a 33-year-old full-back at Salford City, enjoying a standout season — 7 goals and 1 assists in 39 appearances, a Season grade of 13, top 71% of League Two full-backs. On long-term scout potential he's rated 9.9, ranking 433rd of 478 in the League Two. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (37.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.69 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Turton.

Judged on this season alone, Turton graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 59th of 83 of the 83 full-backs in the League Two, on 5 clean sheets and 2.694 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 15 → 13). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 10, 80th of 83 of the 83 full-backs in the League Two. At 33 Turton is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Turton missed 3 games through injury (meniscus injur) out of roughly 49 this season. The 39 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 39 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 7 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.47 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 9.9, Turton carries the 80th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League Two of 83. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
