The St Pat’s manager, Jon Daly, has said the club are in contract talks with teenage star, Adam Murphy, and hope to keep him beyond the end of this season.
Murphy is the subject of firm interest from Bristol City to the extent he may be on his way to the Championship club in this transfer window.The Pat’s manager said: “He is a St Pat’s player. Until I am told otherwise I will use my best players and for me, he is one of the best, if not the best 18-year-old in the country.
“I would like to have him beyond the end of the season to be honest. He is a fantastic player and getting young players like that signed to longer term deals is the only way we can bring value to the league. “At 18-years-of-age he has scored in Europe, getting that exposure at that age is remarkable. I think my debut in Europe was at 27. That’s something that this league can offer young players, you don’t get that in the lower leagues in England, or unless you go to a top seven team in the Premier League. We’re delighted for him that he has got another 65 minutes tonight.”
