Whether Tranmere would be prepared to offer him a coaching role in some capacity remains to be seen as they lick their wounds after yesterday’s disappointment.

Murphy joined the Merseyside club last August and made 12 appearances for them in all competitions this past term.

He had previously played for Tranmere as a youngster and was brought back last year to add more experience and competition to their goalkeeping department.

The ex-Republic of Ireland international has racked up over 600 appearances in his career to date.

He has played for the likes of Scunthorpe United, Coventry City, Huddersfield Town, Bury and Shrewsbury Town in the past.
