Austin Murphy (born 1985) is an Irish former hurler. At club level he played with Clara and was also a member of the Kilkenny senior hurling team.[1] He usually lined out at midfield or as a forward.

Career

[edit]

Murphy first came to prominence at juvenile and underage levels with the Clara club before eventually joining the club's top adult team. After being part of the club's All-Ireland Club Championship-winning team at intermediate level in 2013, he went on to win County Senior Championship titles in 2013 and 2015.[2][3][4] Murphy first appeared on the inter-county scene as part of the Kilkenny team that won the All-Ireland Minor Championship title in 2003, before later winning an All-Ireland Under-21 Championship title in 2006.[5][6] He was still a member of the under-21 team when he was simultaneously included on the Kilkenny intermediate and senior teams. Murphy was a non-playing substitute when Kilkenny beat Cork in the 2006 All-Ireland final.[7]
