Turner was born in Adelaide and her first name is actually Madeleine. She grew up playing netball at an elite level, representing Australia at under 17, 19 and 21 level and featuring in the South Australia National Under-21 Championships in 2015.[1] This led to her being signed by the New South Wales Swifts ahead of the 2016 season, where she played every game that year for the Swifts including the narrow loss in the Grand Final to the Queensland Firebirds.[1] She went on to win the Swifts Coaches Award in both the 2017 and 2018 seasons.[3]
She has represented Australia in the Fast5 Netball World Series.[4]
Turner currently sits on the board of the Australian Netball Players’ Association.[5]
Since joining the Swifts, Turner has become one of the club’s longest-serving players and a cornerstone of its defensive unit. She has won multiple premiership titles with the team, including the 2019 and 2021 Suncorp Super Netball championships, and was named the 2021 Grand Final Most Valuable Player.[6]
Turner has also been part of the Swifts’ leadership group for several seasons and was appointed co-captain alongside Paige Hadley for the 2025 season.[7] In 2026, head coach Briony Akle announced that Turner would lead the Swifts as captain for the 2026 season, with teammate Helen Housby joining her as vice captain.
