Jacob Murphy (born 24 February 1995, age 31) is an English right winger whose senior career has been shaped far more by Newcastle United than by the development detours that came before it. His most productive league campaign came away from Tyneside, on loan at Coventry City in 2015–16, where he scored nine goals in 40 appearances.
Newcastle has been the main stretch of the road. Wearing squad number 23, Murphy has made 222 league appearances for the club over nine seasons, scoring 22 league goals. That is not the profile of a passing squad filler. It is the record of a player who has stayed useful through different phases of a Premier League club, mostly from the right, without needing the whole thing dressed up as something grander.
In 2026–27, he has made seven appearances for Newcastle across the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup, including four in the league. His market value is around £13.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Murphy’s career is that of an established English wide player: sharpened by a strong loan year at Coventry, then spent chiefly at Newcastle, where his longevity is the clearest fact.
