Following up on an amazing debut year with the National Team, USMNT goalkeeper Matt Turner gave another impressive performance in 2022, earning his second-consecutive nomination for 2022 BioSteel U.S. Soccer Male Player of the Year.
For the second year in a row, fans will have the opportunity to vote on select Player of the Year Awards, with the fan vote comprising 15% of the total vote. Nominees for all awards are selected by U.S. Soccer’s technical staff. Voting for the awards starts Thursday, Dec. 15 at 11:00 a.m. ET and closes on Dec. 22 at 11:59 p.m. ET. The winners will be announced in the weeks that follow.
Let’s take a look at some of Turner’s highlights from 2022:
- Cemented his position as the team’s starting goalkeeper leading up to Qatar and finished the year with 11 appearances.
- His seven overall clean sheets tie for third most in a calendar year for a USMNT goalkeeper, coming in behind the record of nine he set in 2021 and eight kept by Kasey Keller when the veteran netminder won Male Player of the Year in 2005.
