My Take

Jacob Murphy is, for me, a lovely example of a player coming good through persistence. Loaned out repeatedly early on, he could have faded, but he stuck at it and became a genuinely useful Premier League winger at Newcastle United; direct, two-footed and increasingly clever with his crossing. The detail I always enjoy is that he's the twin brother of fellow pro Josh Murphy, which makes his story doubly fun. From Wembley with Norwich roots, he reminds me that not every career is a straight line, and that grafting through loan spells can pay off handsomely in the end.

Overview

Murphy made his first-team debut for Norwich City in an FA Cup match against Fulham in January 2014. He has also played on loan for Swindon Town, Southend United and Sheffield Wednesday.
