Last updated : 23 June 2016 By CNS Staff

Former Coventry City defender and loanee Ben Turner has signed for Championship side Burton Albion.

Turner was out of contract at Cardiff City and will officially complete all the paperwork on July 1st.

Speaking to the Burton Albion club website, Turner, a player many City supporters wanted back at the Ricoh Arena, said: “I first spoke with Nigel three or four weeks ago. He asked me to come and look around the place and talk about his plans for the club.

“It’s hard not to be impressed with a club that has come as far as it has in a short amount of time. I have also played with a number of players who have played for Nigel and they have told me all about how he works. I really fancied it and I’m happy to be here.

“I have had a year in the Premier League and I understand there’s a lot of lads coming through the leagues here and that it would be nice to get some others in who have played in the Championship before and know how it works. Hopefully my experience will help at the start of the season.”
