Shannon Turner (born 8 September 1997) became a goalkeeper for West Bromwich Albion in 2021 after leaving Wolverhampton Wanderers. Born in England, she has represented Northern Ireland at under-19 level. She was on the Northern Ireland squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2022.[1]

Life

[edit ]

Turner was born and brought up in Acocks Green, Birmingham in the West Midlands.[2]

Turner has played for a number of leading English football clubs, including Birmingham City W.F.C. [3]

She joined the Wolves in August 2021.[3]

She was the only uncapped player named to play for the Northern Ireland women's national team for the UEFA Women's Euro in 2022.[4] She qualified to play for Northern Ireland as some of her grandparents were from there.[5] The other two goalkeepers in the squad are Jackie Burns and Becky Flaherty.[6] Turner said that joining the squad had inspired her to try to be the top Northern Ireland goalkeeper.[7]

She was in Cardiff in April 2023 in a friendly match against the Welsh team which ended in a 3-0 victory for Wales.[8] There was a similar result in Dundee when Northern Irish team were beaten by the Scottish National team's three goals in another friendly match at Dens Park.[9]

Northern Ireland were playing the Republic of Ireland in September 2023 and Turner was in goal. Northern Ireland lost by three goals to none.[10] The next match was the Hungarian team in October 2023 at the Ménfői úti Stadion in Győr, Hungary and Jackie Burns was injured. Shannon deputised in a game that they lost 3-2, however Shannon's save of an attempt by Evelin Fenyvesi was described as superb.[11]
