Alex Murphy joined Newcastle United this summer from Galway, and the defender is already training with the first-team.

Considering he hasn’t even been training with the Magpies for a full month, it’s really impressive to see Murphy be involved with the first-team. If the recruitment team have done their job and Dan Ashworth can help aid his development, Murphy could be a future star at St James’ Park. It was a worthwhile trip, with Newcastle’s Under-21s beating Elche 2-1 in the sun.
