Wage demands KO Murphy Derry deal

Derry City boss Gavin Dykes has deemed Galway United striker Alan Murphy’s wage demands as "exorbitant", following discussions between the two about a possible deal for last season’s First Division top scorer, at the Brandywell.

Murphy, 22, spent last week on trial at Nationwide Division One club Burnley and re-opened negotiations with the Candystripes on his return home.
