Derry Murkin

Derry Murkin of Derby County was born on 27 July 1999 (age 27).

Derry Murkin, born on 27 July 1999 (age 27), is an English left back now with Derby County. His current market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

His career has been shaped most clearly by FC Volendam. Across six seasons there, he made 93 league appearances and scored nine league goals, a substantial run for a player still in the earlier half of his career. His best attacking return came in 2020-2021, when he scored six times in 30 league games.

Murkin’s 2025-2026 season took him from FC Utrecht to Derby County. He made nine league appearances for Utrecht, scoring twice, before adding 12 league appearances for Derby.

It is a career with one obvious centre of gravity: Volendam gave him the long spell, the regular football and the clearest body of work. Derby is now the next stage for a left back with a solid grounding in the Dutch game.
