Club career

Nicknamed El Tiburón (the Shark), Turcios started his career at Atlético Balboa in 2005 and moved to Luís Ángel Firpo before the 2009 Clausura.[2] In December, 2011 Turcios signed a two-year contract with Águila.[3]

Finland

On February 16, 2012, it was confirmed Turcios would sign with Ykkönen side RoPS from Finland. He made his league debut in a 2-0 victory over Viikingit.[4] On August 25, he suffered a strained ligament in his right knee that would keep him out for approximately 6 months. He was a key member in helping his team gain promotion to the Veikkausliiga to play in the 2013 season. He and the club mutually terminated his contract in January 2014.

Match-fixing ban

On September 20, 2013, Turcios was banned for 6 months due to his involvement with match fixing.[5]

International career

Turcios made his debut for El Salvador in an October 2007 friendly match against Costa Rica and has, as of February 2012, earned a total of 29 caps, scoring 1 goal. He has represented his country in 6 FIFA World Cup qualification matches[6] and played at the 2011 UNCAF Nations Cup,[7] as well as at the 2009[8] and 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cups.[9]
