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 any of his earlier stops.
His early senior development came through loan football, and the spell that still stands out is Coventry City in 2015-16. He scored nine league goals in 40 appearances there, his most productive league season, and it gave him the sort of regular first-team grounding young wide players either use or waste.
Newcastle has been the main body of his career. Across nine seasons he has made 226 league appearances and scored 22 league goals for the club, a long run of service in a position where managers tend not to be sentimental. In 2026-27 he has made 12 appearances in all competitions, including eight in the Premier League, one in the FA Cup and three in the League Cup.
Murphy wears squad number 23 at Newcastle, and his current market value is around £13.5m, according to Transfermarkt. His career is a straightforward one to read: a productive developmental loan at Coventry, followed by a long, durable spell at Newcastle United.
