Jacob Murphy, born on 24 February 1995 (age 31), is an English right winger whose career has settled firmly around Newcastle United. His current market value is around £13.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
The early spell that did most for his development came at Coventry City in 2015-16. He scored nine goals in 40 league appearances, still his most productive league season, and it gave him the sort of senior rhythm young wide players do not always get before the top flight starts asking harder questions.
Newcastle is where the bulk of the work has been done. Across nine seasons there, Murphy has made 225 league appearances and scored 22 league goals. That says plenty about his role: not always the main name, rarely the headline act, but a regular enough presence to matter over a long stretch.
In 2026-27, he has made seven Premier League appearances for Newcastle, along with one in the FA Cup and three in the League Cup. His total for the season stands at 11 appearances across all competitions.
Murphy’s career is not hard to place. Coventry was the useful early staging post, but Newcastle United has provided the long run, the senior profile, and the club context that has come to define him.
