Career

Born in Cork, Ireland, Murphy started his career at Irish football club, Cobh Ramblers, as part of the club's youth system.[2] He broke into the first–team the following year, and played a total of 77 times for the club, scoring nine times.[3] In February 2007, Murphy joined Cork City on a two-year contract. He impressed during the latter stages of the 2007 season, and appeared a total of 32 times in his time at Cork.[4]

Stevenage

In December 2008, he joined Conference National side Stevenage on a short–term contract, and was assigned the number 7 shirt ahead of his first game.[5] Murphy made his Stevenage debut in a 3–0 win against Lewes at Broadhall Way,[6] providing the assist for Stevenage's third goal.[6] Shortly after, he scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 win against Kettering Town, scoring from close–range to restore parity in the match.[7] He went on to make 20 appearances for the club during the 2008–09 season,[8] but was sent–off twice in games against Kidderminster Harriers and Cambridge United respectively.[9][10] However, the latter was rescinded.[11] This subsequently meant that Murphy was able to play in the club's 2–0 FA Trophy victory against York City at Wembley Stadium,[12] a competition in which he started six games.[13] On playing at Wembley, Murphy said "I was delighted it was rescinded and I have the television footage to thank for that because it would not have been seen otherwise. It was hugely important for me to get the chance to play at Wembley".[11] He signed a new contract with the club at the end of the 2008–09 campaign.[14] The 2009–10 season witnessed Murphy continue to feature in the first–team, although this was constantly disrupted by injury towards the latter stages of the season.[15] He assisted Stevenage's second goal in a 2–0 win against Kidderminster Harriers,[16] and played a total of 25 games during the season as Stevenage won promotion to the Football League for the first time in the club's history.[17]

Murphy played his first game of the 2010–11 season in August 2010, starting in Stevenage's 2–1 loss to Portsmouth in the Football League Cup, scoring Stevenage's goal with an effort from outside the area that was deflected in.[18] In the same game, he was substituted at half-time after suffering a dislocated shoulder,[18] and was subsequently ruled out of first-team action for a month. In September 2010, he featured for Stevenage's reserves in their 3–0 win against Colchester United reserves,[19] but was substituted on the hour mark, and had to be "helped off the pitch".[19] It was later confirmed that Murphy had broken his leg and will miss the majority of the 2010–11 campaign.[20] After six months out, Murphy returned to first-team action on 12 March 2011, playing the first-half in Stevenage's 1–0 away win at Wycombe Wanderers.[21] In the club's following match away at Burton Albion, Murphy appeared as an 81st minute substitute, winning a penalty that John Mousinho converted to secure a 2–0 victory.[22] He played a total of nine games during the 2010–11 season, scoring once.[23] This included three appearances in the 2010–11 League Two play-offs following Stevenage's sixth placed finish.[24] Following a 3–0 aggregate victory over Accrington Stanley,[25][26] Stevenage earned promotion to League One after a 1–0 win against Torquay United at Old Trafford on 28 May 2011, with Murphy coming on as a 57th minute substitute in the match.[27]
