His senior career was unlikely to prosper at Wigan as Turley played understudy to Great Britain full back Kris Radlinski. Turley took the offer in 2000 to join Second Division side Leigh Centurions. Neil's father, Norman Turley, was the Centurions' assistant coach. Making his début in a friendly game against Australia's South Sydney Rabbitohs in late 2000, Neil showed great promise.

Famous quotes containing the words career and/or start:
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”
—Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
“Hence a young man is not a proper hearer of lectures on political science; for he is inexperienced in the actions that occur in life, but its discussions start from these and are about these; and, further, since he tends to follow his passions, his study will be vain and unprofitable, because the end aimed at is not knowledge but action.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
