Kyle Turner signs
Raith Rovers are delighted to announce the signing of midfielder Kyle Turner.
With the Rovers at the top of the SPFL Championship, 26 year old Kyle has signed for the club on loan from SPFL Premiership club Ross County until the end of the current season.
Rovers manager Ian Murray spoke exclusively to www.raithrovers.net about working with Kyle again and said:
“I’m delighted to sign Kyle on loan, he’s a player I have worked with before and a player who did very well last season in this division.
Kyle adds quality, experience and depth to our squad.
He also showed great desire to join Raith Rovers, which is something we look for immediately, and Kyle can play a variety of positions over the park.
I’d like to Thank the Board of Raith Rovers FC in securing this loan deal, and also extend Thanks to Ross County FC in assisting us in making this loan possible”.
The son of former St Johnstone, Partick and St Mirren player in the 1980s and 90s Tommy Turner, Kyle’s football journey started in the youth systems of his local team St Mirren and then Partick Thistle.
Kyle started in senior football with Stranraer, making his professional debut in 2015, and after 4 seasons and over 140 matches at Stair Park took the opportunity to start in full-time football with Dunfermline Athletic in the SPFL Championship.
After over 50 matches for The Pars, Kyle spent a 14 match spell on loan at Airdrieonians in SPFL League 1 – where Ian Murray was manager – before returning to the SPFL Championship and Partick Thistle at the start of season 2021-22.
In 2 seasons and with 90 matches for The Jags, Kyle was a prominent player. He scored his first goal for Partick in December 2021 – a 96th minute matchwinner in the Firhill fog – with his performances earning him a move to the SPFL Premiership with Ross County at the start of the current season.
Welcome Aboard Kyle!
