Matt Turner joins Crystal Palace on season-long loan

Matt Turner is headed to South London for his next opportunity of his club career.

Turner has joined Crystal Palace on a season-long loan spell from Nottingham Forest, both clubs announced Friday. The 30-year-old joins up with U.S. men’s national team teammate Chris Richards at Selhurst Park.

Sam Johnstone’s transfer to Wolves opened up the door for Crystal Palace to acquire Turner.

“I’m really excited to be here – and I’m ready to get to work,” Turner said in a club interview. “I’ve heard a lot about [goalkeeping coach] Dean Kiely from Wayne Hennessey, and obviously Dean [Henderson] and Remi [Matthews] have got a lot of experience, so it’ll be great to get to know them, learn how they work, support them in whatever ways I can, but also push them to be the best versions of themselves.”

Turner originally made the move to the City Ground last summer in a permanent deal from Arsenal. He proceeded to make 21 combined appearances under both Steve Cooper and Nuno Espirito Santo, however mainly featured as a backup during the second half of the season.

Forest’s summer signing of Brazilian goalkeeper Miguel dropped Turner to third on the club’s depth chart this season.

Turner, a former New England Revolution standout, has earned 44 caps with the USMNT to date.

The Eagles travel to London rivals Chelsea on Sunday, seeking their first league win of the season.
