Background[]
Murphy was born in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.
Career[]
He commenced his Super League career with the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats in 2008. In 2010, after an injury to the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats' first choice fullback Matt Blaymire, Murphy managed to hold down a regular first team place. In 2012 Murphy moved to the Huddersfield Giants where he became an integral part of the team, playing a big part in the Giants' League Leaders' Shield win in 2013 and subsequent play off campaigns. He is appreciated for his no nonsense, tough style of play where he often finishes games injured and usually with an accompanying bandage!
At the end of the 2020 season he signed a two year deal with RFL Championship side Bradford Bulls.[6]
