That season, Canterbury reached the finals but were eliminated by Newtown in the first week.

In 1974, Canterbury reached their first grand final since their last appearance in 1967 against South Sydney. Murphy was selected to play on the wing as a late inclusion for Bernie Lowther.

In total, he played 81 games for Canterbury across all grades.

In 1975, Murphy joined Newtown and played 17 games for the club scoring 5 tries in his only season there before retiring.
