Jacob Murphy, born on 24 February 1995 (age 31), is an English right winger whose career has been shaped far more by usefulness and staying power than by noise. His current market value is around £13.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
The early part of his career was helped along by loan football, with the clearest marker coming at Coventry City in 2015-16. He scored nine league goals in 40 appearances there, still his most productive league season, and it gave him the sort of senior grounding that tends to matter more than tidy academy promise.
Newcastle United has been the main body of his career. Across nine seasons he has made 224 league appearances and scored 22 league goals for the club, operating primarily from the right and often filling the sort of role that does not always attract much fuss but keeps managers returning to him.
In 2026-27, Murphy has made six Premier League appearances, along with outings in the FA Cup and League Cup, taking him to nine appearances in all competitions for Newcastle. His career, in plain terms, is that of a long-serving Newcastle wide player whose best early spell came on loan at Coventry.
