Cardiff City have added their sixth signing of the January Transfer Window, as they've confirmed the signing of Celtic midfielder David Turnbull.
Turnbull made his senior debut for Scottish Premiership side Motherwell in February 2018. He then made his first start in May 2018. Turnbull topped off his first senior season as he was involved in the Scottish Cup final against Celtic at the end of the 17/18 season.
Turnbull had his breakthrough season in The Well's next SPFL campaign. Turnbull made thirthy appearances, scoring fifteen goals. This saw Turnbulll nominated for PFA Scotland Young Player Of The Season, he also won SFWA Young Player Of The Season.
In June 2019, Turnbull was set to join Celtic, however the deal collapsed due to a knee problem. Turnbull then had surgery to fix his knee problem, which saw a lengthy spell on the sideline for the midfielder. Turnbull would make his return to action in February, however following the outbreak of COVID-19, Turnbull and Motherwell's season was over just two appearances into his return.
Turnbull started the next season with Motherwell, scoring one goal in five appearances. In August 2020, Turnbull eventually completed a move to Scottish giants Celtic for a rumoured £3M.
Turnbull enjoyed a great first season at Celtic Park. He made his Europa League debut against Lille, won his first Scotland cap, scored ten goals, won the Scottish Cup, won Celtic Player Of The Season, won Celtic Young Player Of The Season and won PFA Scotland Young Player Of The Season.
Turnbull continued to be a regular under new boss Ange Postecoglu. The midfielder netted nine goals in all competition, as Celtic won the Scottish Premiership and Scottish League Cup.
This season, Turnbull has made five appearances in the Champions League. The 24 year-old has also netted seven goals in his fourteen appearances in the Scottish Premiership. However after falling down th epecking order, Turnbull has made the move to the Welsh Capital, as he seeks to regain his form from a few seasons ago.
Very pleased with this signing, adds something we don't have!
