Murphy Hoping For Fulham Stay

Last updated : 13 November 2007 By Sam
The 30-year-old midfielder has less than 12 months remaining on his present deal at Craven Cttage but is hoping he has done enough this season to convince manager Lawrie Sanchez to extend his deal at the club.

"My move happened very quickly and I haven't thought about it too much as it's kind of out of my hands," he has said.

"I had a year left at Tottenham and Fulham took over the contract and that's something we'll assess further down the line. As it stands right now if that contract came to me I'd sign it.

"I'm sure the club need to be convinced by me, on and off the pitch, especially because I hadn't really played that much in the 12 months before I came here.

"They probably wanted to have a look at me and see where I was at physically.

"Hopefully I've shown that I'm capable and, as I said, that's something we'll have to look at further down the line."
