Martin Turk (born 21 August 2003) is a Slovenian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Primeira Liga club Estoril Praia.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Koper,[3] Turk played in the youth sectors of Jadran Dekani and Koper, before joining Italian side Parma in 2019, aged 15.[4][5][6] He made his professional debut for the club on 22 February 2022, in a goalless Serie B draw against Pisa.[7][8][9]

On 19 July 2022, Turk was loaned to Serie C side Reggiana.[10][11] He made eight league appearances for Reggiana in the first half of the 2022–23 season.[12] On 13 January 2023, Turk was re-called by Parma and subsequently loaned out to Serie A side Sampdoria for the rest of the season.[13] He made his debut for the blucerchiati on 12 March in a 4–2 away loss against Juventus,[14] becoming the first 2003-born goalkeeper to play in Serie A.[14]

On 16 July 2024, Turk joined Polish second division club Ruch Chorzów on a permanent deal, signing a three-year contract.[2][15]

International career

[edit]

Turk played for various Slovenian national youth selections, such as the under-15, under-16, under-17 and under-21 teams.[16] With the under-16 team, he was instrumental in keeping a clean sheet during a draw against Italy in 2019, saving a penalty from Sebastiano Esposito.[4][5]

He was first called to the Slovenian senior team in June 2021, for a friendly game against Gibraltar, just after he played his first game with the under-21s.[4][17]

During the following months, he became a regular starter with the under-21s during the Euro 2023 qualifiers, playing games such as a 2–2 draw against England[18] and a 3–0 win against Albania.[19]

Personal life

[edit]

During his childhood, Turk practiced dance before switching to football permanently.[3] He is fluent in Slovene and Italian.[3]

Both his father and his older brother played football at amateur level.[3]
