Timeline

1981

Joseph Murphy (born 21 August 1981) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Tranmere Rovers.

2000

With his first club, Tranmere Rovers, Murphy played in the 2000 Football League Cup final, before joining West Bromwich Albion in July 2002.

With his first touches in a Premier League game, Murphy saved a Michael Owen penalty following the sending off of Russell Hoult.

2002

Murphy began his career with Tranmere Rovers, and has since represented eight other clubs, making over 500 appearances in the Football League and playing twice in the Premier League for West Bromwich Albion in 2002.

2003

Born in Dublin, he was capped twice by the Republic of Ireland at international level in 2003 and 2010.

2004

He spent the majority of the 2004–05 season on loan at Walsall.

2005

In August 2005, he moved from West Brom to Sunderland, but was again loaned to Walsall during 2005–06.

2006

Murphy signed for Scunthorpe United in May 2006 after being released by Sunderland.

He had an excellent 2006–07 season, and was an integral part of the team that led Scunthorpe to the League One trophy.

He was in the League One team of the season, and also won the golden glove (award for most clean sheets).

2007

He was also named League One player of the month for February 2007.

On top of this, he hit the crossbar during Soccer AM's crossbar challenge.

His clean sheet in Scunthorpe's 2–0 home victory over Burnley on 30 September 2007 earned him a place in the Championship Team of the Week.

He made the Team of the Week once more following his side's 1–0 victory over Charlton Athletic in February.

2008

Murphy enjoyed a good set of performances during the 2008–09 season but never caught the eye of Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni due to playing in the third tier.

Murphy's performance in the League One play-off semi-final second leg against MK Dons helped the team proceed to the final as he kept a clean sheet in 120 minutes and saved two penalties in the shootout from Jason Puncheon and Jude Stirling.

Scunthorpe won the play-off final against Millwall.

Murphy's contract was to end at the end of the 2008–09 season and there was much speculation as to where his future lay; many reports suggested that he would be moving to a much bigger club to gain international football for Ireland.

He was selected as a member of the League One team of the year for 2008–09.

2011

This speculation was ended when he signed a one-year contract extension with Scunthorpe, extendable to 2011 if the Iron remained in the Championship.

He told local newspapers that he signed the new deal because "He owed the club for all it has done for him".

Murphy was one of seven players to be released by Scunthorpe in May 2011.

He was not offered a new contract because of cost-cutting measures implemented after the team was relegated.

On 30 June 2011, Murphy joined Championship club Coventry City on a three-year deal.

2014

Murphy signed for Championship side Huddersfield Town on a two-year contract, with the option of a further year in the club's favour, on 17 June 2014.

Although expected to start as 2nd choice, he aimed to challenge Alex Smithies for the goalkeeper spot.

After making his début in the League Cup first round match against Chesterfield in August, he would make his league début against Sheffield Wednesday on 22 November 2014.

2015

On 9 May 2015, Murphy was sent on a week-long emergency loan to Chesterfield for their play-off campaign, following an injury to Tommy Lee.

Unfortunately, he couldn't help the Spireites get to Wembley, as they lost in the two-legged semi-final to Preston North End.

2017

On 30 January 2017, Murphy signed a loan deal with Football League One side Bury to the end of the 2016–17 season, making sixteen first team appearances.

He left Huddersfield on 1 July 2017 to sign a full contract with Bury and made eighteen first team appearances in 2017–18.

2018

Bury were relegated to League Two in May 2018 but Murphy's contract was extended by one year and he has played in every Bury match of the 2018–19 season to date.

2019

On 4 July 2019, Murphy signed for League One side Shrewsbury Town on a free transfer, signing a one-year deal, becoming the club's seventh summer signing.

2020

At the end of the season, Murphy was not offered a contract extension and was released by the club on 11 June 2020.

On 22 August 2020, Murphy signed a 1-year deal to rejoin Tranmere Rovers.

Having made 21 appearances the previous season, this was extended by a further year on 10 June 2021.

On 26 May 2022, Murphy extended his stay for a further 12 months, taking on the additional role of goalkeeping coach while remaining on the playing staff.

At the age of 41 years and 187 days, Murphy became the oldest player to represent Tranmere Rovers, keeping a clean sheet against promotion-chasing Stevenage in a 1-0 away win on 25 February 2023.

On 26 June 2023, Murphy signed a 4th consecutive 12 month contract, continuing his role of goalkeeping coach while remaining on the playing staff supporting new #1 Luke McGee as coach and understudy.
