Saints Technical Director Martin Hunter discussed Turnbull’s current situation:
“We treat everybody as individuals and, like we did with Jack Stephens last year, we think that going out on loan will escalate Jordan’s development.
“We’ve got a good link with Swindon – they try to play good football, and that’s one of the reasons why we let Jack go last year and Jordan this year.”
The Saints under-21 player has made 42 appearances for the Southampton youth team and now will be expected to gain vital first team experience during his spell with Swindon
