Daniel Thomas Murphy (born 4 December 1982) is an English-born Irish footballer.
Murphy, a left full back, previously played for Queens Park Rangers, Swindon Town, and Margate.
Murphy started his youth career at West Ham United before moving across London to sign YTS forms with Queens Park Rangers. After some fine performances amongst the youth and reserve sides Murphy was rewarded with a two-year professional contract upon his 17th birthday. Danny was handed his debut in a 3–2 win against Chesterfield under manager Ian Holloway and went on to make 24 league and cup appearances over the following two seasons.
Upon Murphy's release from QPR he agreed to join Swindon Town after a successful pre-season trial. Although the deal was in place, the move failed to be finalised due to financial problems at the Wiltshire-based club. Dropping out of the Football League, Murphy then joined conference side Margate in the fifth tier of English football. Although becoming first choice left back, Danny decided to join Cork City after only 12 games at the club.
He signed for Cork City in 2004 and made his League of Ireland debut on the opening day [1]. He helped them win the League of Ireland title in 2005. He became a fan favourite at Turners Cross and earned him the sobriquet The Cockney Rebel.
