Jacob Murphy, born on 24 February 1995 (age 31), is an English right winger whose career has been shaped far more by Newcastle United than by anything around the margins. His current market value is around £13.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
The early part of his senior career was helped along by loan football, with Coventry City the spell that still stands out. In 2015-16 he scored nine league goals in 40 appearances, his most productive league season, and did enough there to look like more than just another winger being passed round for minutes.
Newcastle is where the career has settled. Wearing squad number 23, Murphy has made 220 league appearances and scored 22 league goals across nine seasons for the club. He has not always been the headline act, but he has lasted, and that tends to say something at a club where patience is not exactly an industrial resource.
In 2026-27, he has made four appearances for Newcastle in all competitions, including two in the Premier League and one each in the FA Cup and League Cup. The broader shape of his career is clear enough: a productive development spell at Coventry, then a long, steady body of work at Newcastle United.
