Turnbull has sparked interest after three seasons in League One, with two of the campaigns on loan at Swindon.

He moved from St Mary’s to Coventry last summer but could not prevent relegation to the fourth tier and the terms of his deal means he could leave after a season.

The four clubs registering interest in the defender believe he can play his part in a promotion bid to get the Championship.

Turnbull played in England youth teams and was given pro terms at Southampton but did not play games for them before he was loaned out.

He was given a permanent move to Coventry when Claude Puel took over at Southampton a year ago and was a regular for the Sky Blues.
