" ALL CLUBS TRANSFERS & SIGNINGS OCTOBER 2020 "

When it looked like a possible move back to the SSE Airtricity League of Ireland was on the cards for Waterford native Brian Murphy, who looked set to join Premier champions Dundalk, there was a final twist on Friday afternoon last.
The 33-year-old goalkeeper, who played with Portsmouth last season, put pen to paper on a two-year contract with English Championship Club Cardiff City after their number one keeper David Marshall went to Hull City on transfer deadline day.
After playing with Manchester City, Swansea City, Bohemians, Ipswich Town, Queens Park Rangers and Portsmouth, it did look likely that Murphy would make a return to Ireland to join Stephen Kenny’s Dundalk but instead he decided on a move to the Bluebirds.

DELIGHTED WITH MOVE
Speaking on his move to Cardiff City, Brian Murphy said, “I’m delighted that everything has been sorted because I had a lot of offers but this could possibly be my last major move and I had to make sure it was the correct one.
“It’s been a pretty long close season to be honest trying to sort things out but now it’s all completed and I cannot wait to start playing again. I’m used to working hard and that’s what I’ll do. Hopefully we’ll push each other every day and when it comes to Saturday, you get what you deserve.”
Brian also explained some prior links he has with the Bluebirds, including his friendship with City legend, Stephen McPhail. “I’ve met a couple of the guys already,” he continued. “I know Conns [Matthew Connolly] from QPR a few years ago, and I’m sure over the next few days I’ll get to know them.
“I know Macca through the Irish connection too. He’s a great lad; he’s back playing in Ireland now and I think he’s going into coaching. What he’s come through over the last few years, and come out the better, has been great and he’s a bit of a legend here, I believe! I’m sure I’ll get in contact with him and find out a bit about Cardiff.”
