Peter James Murphy (born 13 February 1990) is an English former professional footballer who played primarily as a midfielder but was also a capable defender.

Career[edit]

Murphy joined Stanley as a 16-year-old.[3] Towards the end of the 2007–08 season, he spent a few weeks on loan at Northern Premier League club Prescot Cables to gain experience, and signed his first professional contract with Stanley on his return from loan, in April 2008.[4][5] He made his debut for Stanley on 26 April, in the Football League Two clash with Wrexham which ended as a 3–1 win. He signed a new contract in May 2010[6] and again in 2012.[1] He then signed for Wycombe Wanderers in 2014 on a free transfer. He opened the scoring for Wycombe on his debut, as they beat Newport County 2–0.[7]

He joined Morecambe on 8 June 2015.[8] He scored his first goal for the club in a 4–2 loss against Cambridge United on 24 November 2015.[9]

At the end of the 2016–2017 season, Murphy announced his retirement from playing, aged 27, following a long-term injury.[10]
