About Matt

Prolific striker who joined the club from Oxford United.

Whilst not blessed with pace, the rest of Murphy's game was a class above as his 25 goals in 41 Rebels appearances proved. Provided a great partnership with Ian Hodges and Matt Seedel as the trio combined to provide 53 goals between them in the 2004/5 season. Left in the summer of 2005 to join up with Brackley Town where he continued his goalscoring exploits.

Murphy started his career in non-league football with Long Buckby, Cogenhoe United, Irthlingborough Diamonds and Corby Town, before joining Oxford United for a fee of £20,000. He played nearly 250 league games for Oxford, and spent time with Scunthorpe United, Bury and Swansea City before returning to non-league. He has since played for Kettering Town, King's Lynn, Ford Sports, Slough Town, Brackley Town, Banbury United, Spalding United, Wellingborough Town, Sileby, and Daventry United.

In February 2009 he was appointed player/assistant manager of United Counties League side Daventry United.
