Club career

While at Brunton Park he has started 250+ games and scored the winning goal in the Conference National Playoff Final 2005, which ensured The Cumbrians return to the Football League. On their return, Murphy also played a major part in the team that won the League Two title in 2006 and that missed out on the League One play offs in 2007. Murphy was out of contract at the end of the 2006-07 season and was offered a new contract by manager Neil McDonald, but he rejected it and was released from the club in May 2007, ending 6 years service at Carlisle.[1] In July 2007, after a lack offers elsewhere, Murphy re-joined Carlisle United, signing a two-year contract. On 3 April 2011, Murphy scored the winning goal in the Football League Trophy at Wembley Stadium against Brentford.[2] Two days before the match, Murphy's partner Lisa gave birth to a baby son.[3] Within the club and the fans he has became a Carlisle legend because of he bright happy personality with the great loyalty to those around him, he also has had the most games of any outfield player in the clubs history. On 7 October there was a testimonial match to mark his 10+ years of service with the Cumbrian club, in which a host of ex-Carlisle superstars took to the field on Brunton Park, with big names such as Grant Holt, Danny Graham, Keiran Westwood and Ian Harte all making the trip to Cumbria for this special occasion to celebrate his loyalty and service to Carlisle United.
International career
Murphy is a former Ireland under-19 and under-21 international, playing in the UEFA Under-19 Championships in 1999.[4] In May 2007, Murphy received his first call up to the senior Republic of Ireland squad for the two-game American tour against Ecuador and Bolivia.[4] Murphy's international début came against Bolivia. when he started the match and was substituted at half time.[5] This appearance meant he became first United player to win full international honours while with the Brunton Park club since Eric Welsh, who won four caps for Northern Ireland in the 1960s.[6]
