About the player
Jacob Kai Murphy's route to Newcastle United ran through six different loan spells before he ever settled anywhere.
He has since gone on to make over 200 appearances for the club.
Murphy started the EFL Cup final against Liverpool on 16 March 2025 and set up Alexander Isak's second goal as Newcastle won 2–1. He followed that with the Premier League Fans' Player of the Month award in April 2025 and finished the league campaign with 20 goal involvements, eight goals and twelve assists.
Internationally, Murphy has represented England at various youth levels up to under-21, scoring a bicycle kick against Portugal in the semi-final of the 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. Eligible for the Republic of Ireland through his mother, he turned down an approach from the Nigerian Football Federation in February 2025. He also won the FA Youth Cup with Norwich City in the 2012–13 season.
