After making 2 appearances for Walsall, Murphy was then later released at the end of the 2015/16 campaign.

On 9 October, Murphy penned a one-month loan deal with Kidderminster Harriers[5] He scored on his Harriers debut, a 2–1 loss away at Macclesfield. He scored the only goal in a 1–0 home win against Woking, Harriers first win of the season coming after 18 games. The next home game, he assisted Harriers first goal in a 2–0 home win against Aldershot.
