As a monstrous fan of the Scottish Premier League (and please, no more tweets asking me why!), I am a strong believer that Motherwell forward Jamie Murphy (that’s @Jamiemurphy89 to you chum!) has the potential to be great. He is a genuine Scottish talent.
A very versatile and creative forward with very good passing ability and strong finishing skills. Yes, I am a fan.
He is also only 22 years old.
Murphy has been a Motherwell lad for most of his career. He joined their U13’s squad and followed through the ranks before making his first team debut in the 2006-07 season.
He has scored 21 goals in 139 appearances for Motherwell – not a brilliant record. But he is more than goals – especially to his Motherwell team and their fans.
Murphy’s contract expires at the end of next season, and there have been many rumours that clubs from the EPL might be ready to pounce on the highly rated youngster.
I for one would love to see him sign a one-year extension, play out next season in full and truly develop all of his skills – and absolutely dominate the SPL like he has the potential to do.
Then at the end of next season, make the big money move to an EPL club (ensuring Motherwell are well-rewarded for their investment in his career).
He is a star, and you will definitely hear a lot from him both at club and international level.
Stay with Motherwell Jamie, the fans and club need you.
