    Rhys Murphy

    has signed for Dutch team Telstar after being released from Arsenal.

    http://www.dichtbij.nl/noord-kenneme...r-telstar.aspx
    VELSEN-ZUID - Telstar heeft overeenstemming bereikt met Rhys Murphy. De 21 jarige spits heeft een contract voor een seizoen met een optie voor nog een seizoen getekend bij de Witte Leeuwen.

    Murphy komt uit de talentenschool van Arsenal. Hij kwam echter nooit uit voor het eerste elftal van Arsenal, maar kwam wel in actie tijdens huurperiodes bij respectievelijk Brentford en Preston North End.

    Daarnaast kwam Murphy ook in actie voor Engeland onder 16, 17 en 19. Opmerkelijk was zijn overstap naar de ploeg van Ierland onder 21. Arsenal besloot zijn aflopende contract niet te verlengen waardoor de begaafde aanvaller nu transfervrij overkomt.

    Murphy werd zaterdag medisch gekeurd en ondertekende toen ook zijn contract bij Telstar.

    A promising player whose stagnated a bit the past few seasons, hopefully he gets himself going again.

    Not a bad season - http://irish-abroad.appspot.com/Play...5&seasonID=142
    not great either though, only seven goals, and more than half of those were penalties.
    Saw him play for the u21's against Denmark, and thought his movement and first touch were lacking

    Yes sounds more interesting than the championship anyway!

    Cheaper beer and fags too, it's a no brainer.

    Has signed for Forest Green in the National League

    Is it any wonder why Daniel Crowley has declared for England?

    He's probably seen how Conor Henderson, Philip Roberts and Rhys Murphy's careers have went.

    I thought Murphy & Henderson were both part of the U19 team that reached the semi-final of the Euros in 2011. Turns out they weren't.
    Having a look at that squad though, only Hendrick has gone on to be capped with Matt Doherty probably not far off one and perhaps John Egan in the future.
    The rest are basically lower Champ/L1/SPL. There's also a few lads who probably aren't even playing anymore at a pro level. Sad really....

    Had a look at that squad, a huge number of them were born outside of Ireland.

    Did you count Derrick Williams as foreign born? Technically he was born in Germany but moved to Waterford when he was a child.

    And Sean McGinty!

    I don't think the situation is too bad from that team. Realistically, guys who are playing Championship/SPL at 23 are the sort of internationals we produce these days. You could see the likes of O'Connor and Forde coming into the picture in the next couple of years. I'd say it stands up fairly well to Kerr's Euro-winning teams, albeit without a Duff/Keane mega-talent.

    Released by Forest Green Rovers: https://www.forestgreenroversfc.com/...phy-leaves-fgr

    Given we're in the transfer window, I wonder if he has another club lined up?
