Newcastle United's rising star, forward Murphy, has been rewarded for a standout March with a nomination for the Barclays Women's Super League Player of the Month award. Her influential performances were crucial in driving the Magpies' momentum during a key period of the season.

Murphy kicked off the month in style, showcasing her clutch gene by netting a vital equalizer in a hard-fought 1-1 draw away at Sheffield United. She then turned provider at St. James' Park, delivering the assist for Beth Lumsden's decisive goal in a commanding 2-0 victory over Birmingham City.

The Republic of Ireland international's month was nearly capped with a dramatic Tyne-Wear derby winner against Sunderland, only to see her goal controversially disallowed in the 1-1 draw. Despite that setback, her consistent threat and end-product have rightly earned her a place among the league's elite for March.

She faces stiff competition for the honor from Aimee Everett (Crystal Palace), Lucy Ashworth-Clifford (Ipswich Town), and Joy Omewa (Nottingham Forest). Newcastle fans can rally behind their number one by casting their vote online before the deadline of 10am BST on Wednesday, April 15th.
