Ridsdale told the club's official website: "We have been tracking Ross all summer and we are really pleased to have secured his services for the season.

"Ross is known to be one of the bright young keepers coming through and we are glad that our patience has paid off. The signing of another keeper will really give us genuine competition in all positions and that is what we set out to achieve during the summer."

Turnbull has been capped by England at under-19 level.
