Kieran Murtagh (born 29 October 1988) is an English born Antigua and Barbudan international footballer currently playing for Woking on loan from Wycombe Wanderers as a midfielder.
Career
Kieran joined Conference South side Fisher Athletic in November 2007, in his only season at the London club in a season where he made 21 appearances and scored one goal. He was made Fisher's young player of the year for the 2007/08 season. Murtagh was much sought-after at the end of 2007/08, having impressed many with his performances for Fisher Athletic.
Even though he had trials for Premier League and Championship clubs, Fulham and Nottingham Forest respectively, he signed for League One club Yeovil.[2] After being tracked he was finally signed on a two year contract, on 12 June 2008. He made his debut for Yeovil Town as a substitute in the 1–1 home draw against Walsall, on 9 August 2008.[3] In his first season with Yeovil he made 26 appearances.
Murtagh scored his first goal, with a thirty-yard strike, against Huddersfield in a 2–1 defeat 29 August 2009.[4] He was offered a new contract on 13 May 2010,[5] but rejected it in favour of a move to Wycombe Wanderers where he signed a one-year contract.[6]
On 31 January 2011, Murtagh signed a one-month loan deal with Conference South club Woking, subsequently extended for a further month.[7][8]
International career
On 25 November, Murtagh was called up to the Antigua and Barbuda squad for the 2010 Caribbean Championship. He made his début in the 3–1 defeat against Jamaica on 27 November 2010.
