Loan Spells

He moved on loan from West Ham United to Bradford City in November 2012,[7] and made his professional debut in the FA Cup in a 1–1 draw against Brentford on 30 November 2012.[8] Turgott stated in December 2012 that he hoped the loan move would toughen him up.[9] On 4 March 2013, he returned to West Ham after his loan spell ended, having made 11 appearances for the club.[10]

Turgott signed an initial one-month loan deal with Colchester United on 28 November 2013.[11] Turgott made his Colchester United debut on 14 December 2013, coming on as a half time substitute in a 4–0 home defeat by Notts County.[12] He scored his first club career goal on 26 December 2013, the opener in a 4–0 home win over Stevenage.[13] Turgott returned to West Ham at the end of his loan having played four times and scoring once for Colchester.[14]

On 17 January 2014, Turgott joined Rotherham United on an initial one-month loan.[15] He made his Rotherham debut a day later in a 3–0 away win against Shrewsbury Town coming on as an 88th-minute substitute for Ben Pringle.[16] This was his only appearance for Rotherham before he was recalled by West Ham in February 2014.[17]

On 27 March 2014, Turgott joined League Two side Dagenham & Redbridge on loan for the remainder of the 2013–14 season.[18] Turgott made his Dagenham & Redbridge two days after signing for the club, making his first start for them, in a 1–0 win over Oxford United.[19] Turgott went on to make five appearance for the club.

Meeting a right-wing cross from Sean Clohessy, Turgott hit a first-time volley from 18 yards (16 m) past the Stevenage goalkeeper, Chris Day.[26] In May 2016, he was released from Leyton Orient when it was announced that he would not be retained when his contract expired.[27]
