He's now an RGV Toro: A former U.S. youth international, Murphy returns to the USL Championship after a season in the Scottish Championship with Arbroath FC. The midfielder appeared in 22 games for Arbroath across all competitions. A New Jersey native, Murphy began his professional career in England in 2016 when he signed with Sheffield Wednesday before returning to the United States in 2018, where he had stints with both Major League Soccer’s Los Angeles FC and the USL Championship’s Las Vegas Lights FC. “James Murphy was with us in pre-season last year and we tried to sign him but he had ambitions to get back to Europe which we understood,” Kowba said. “He’s an industrious ball winner and has the ability to control the tempo of a game from the center of the park. His distribution in tight spaces and over distance is something that will benefit the team.” https://www.uslchampionship.com/news_article/show/1112675
