Andrew Turner (born 16 February 2002) is an English professional rugby union player who plays as a prop for Bristol Bears.

Early career

Turner attended Filton College and played for Weston-super-Mare RFC before joining the Bristol Bears academy.

Professional career

Turner joined the Bristol Bears academy in 2020. He made his club debut in the 2021–22 Premiership Rugby Cup against Worcester Warriors, before making a further two appearances in the 2022–23 Premiership Rugby Cup. During this period he was dual-registered with Dings Crusaders RFC.

In early 2023, Turner moved to New Zealand to represent Sumner RFC, who have a partnership with Bristol Bears. Due to an injury crisis at the Crusaders, Turner was a late inclusion in their side for Round 11 of the 2023 Super Rugby Pacific season against the Force, making his debut as a substitute in the same fixture. He made a second and last appearance in round 13 against Moana Pasifika.

In June 2022 Turner represented England U20 and received a red card against France.

On 28 June 2024, Turner would join Championship side Doncaster Knights on a season-long loan for the 2024-25 season for further game development.
