Murphy so keen to follow Kiely

JOE MURPHY is the first to admit that, after a meteoric rise, his career has been stuck in neutral for far too long.

However, he need look no further than Dean Kiely for inspiration in how to turn things around at both club and international level.

It was at Tranmere Rovers where the Dubliner first caught our attention eight years ago. He was just 18 when he started in goal against Leicester City in the Worthington Cup final defeat at Wembley.
