Ed Turns spent the second half of last season on loan with Leyton Orient.

Ed Turns has signed a new contract that runs until June 2025, with a club option for an extra year.

Technical director David Weir said, “We’ve been really pleased with the way Ed has continued to develop and that was reflected in both his inclusion in the first-team squad here last season, and the success of his time with Leyton Orient.”

The defender joined us as a 14-year-old, progressing through the youth ranks before making his full first team debut in a 2-0 win over Swansea City in the Carabao Cup in September 2021.

The 20-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan with Leyton Orient, as they finished top of League Two.

Ed has made two senior appearances for us, while he made 16 League Two appearances for Orient last season.
