Nottingham Fores have announced the signing of goalkeeper Matt Turner from Arsenal.

It’s something I’m really looking forward to, it’s a great challenge and a great step in my career,” he said, adding: “When I heard that there was interest to bring me here, it just felt right for my family, it felt right when my agent spoke to me about it and it feels like the right move for me right now.

Turner made his name in the MLS, making 111 appearances during a six-year spell at New England Revolution.

The shot-stopper moved to North London last June, keeping three clean sheets in five UEFA Europa League outings for the Gunners as well as starting four times for the USA during their FIFA World Cup campaign in Qatar.
