Benjamin "Ben" Muirhead (born January 5, 1983) is an English footballer who plays as a winger. He plays for Alfreton Town in the Conference North. He started his career with Manchester United, but after he was released without playing a game he moved to Bradford City. He played more than 100 games in four years at Bradford, before he moved to Rochdale.

Career

Born in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, Muirhead was a highly rated youngster and played for England schoolboys, including playing against an Argentina Under-15 squad starring Carlos Tévez at Wembley. After beginning his career at Manchester United where he failed to make a first team appearance, he moved to Bradford City. He then moved to Rochdale on loan and scored on his debut versus Notts County, which Rochdale went on to win 2–1. Muirhead caught the eye of many League Two pundits during his loan spell and it was a disappointment when Bantams caretaker boss David Wetherall recalled him.

He was released by Bradford City in May 2007. The following month, he signed a permanent deal with League Two outfit Rochdale. He scored the winning penalty as Rochdale reached the play-off final after defeating Darlington. [cite news
