Murphy agreed a six-month loan deal with League One club Burton Albion on 20 January 2020.

Born in Glasgow, Murphy previously played for Scottish club Motherwell and English clubs Sheffield United and Brighton & Hove Albion. He played for the Scotland U19 and Scotland U21 representative teams, and made his full international debut in March 2018.

On 6 January 2018, Brighton announced that Murphy had joined Scottish Premiership club Rangers on loan until the end of the 2017–18 season. The clubs also agreed a fee for Murphy to move permanently in the summer. Murphy made his competitive debut for Rangers on 24 January 2018, in a 2–0 win against Aberdeen. He was one of four players to make their first appearance for Rangers in that game. Murphy scored his first goal for Rangers in a 6–1 win at Ayr United in the 2017–18 Scottish Cup.

In May 2018, Murphy signed a three-year contract with Rangers. He suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury in August 2018, which prevented him from playing for most of the 2018–19 season.

Murphy had limited playing time with Brighton in the Premier League, making four league appearance for the club in the first half of the 2017–18 season, all as a substitute.

On 9 August 2016, Murphy scored a brace in a 4–0 win against Colchester United in the first round of the EFL Cup. Throughout the 2016–17 season, Murphy scored two goals in 37 league appearances as Brighton gained promotion to the Premier League.

Murphy received his first call-up to the Scotland squad on 10 March 2016, for their friendlies against Czech Republic and Denmark on 24 and 29 March. He was left unused. Murphy made his full international debut in a 1–0 home friendly defeat to Costa Rica on 23 March 2018, coming on as an 87th-minute substitute for Matt Ritchie. Murphy's second Scottish cap came in a friendly where Scotland lost 2–0 away to Peru where Murphy started the game. However, he was subbed off in the 63rd minute, replaced by Oli McBurnie.

Murphy's inability to hold down a regular first team place led to him being linked with a move away from United during the summer of 2013, but he remained in Sheffield and pledged to fulfill his potential the following season. Despite these claims, Murphy found himself out of favour with new manager David Weir, and initially fared no better when Weir was quickly replaced by Nigel Clough, remaining a peripheral figure. It was not until December 2013 that Murphy's form improved and he began to consolidate a first team place, citing his improved fitness as the key to his change in fortunes. On 31 January 2015, Murphy signed a new contract with United keeping him at Bramall Lane until summer 2017. Later that day, Murphy came off the bench in the second half and scored a brace against promotion rivals Swindon Town to give United a 2–0 home victory.

In August 2015, Murphy signed a four-year contract with Brighton & Hove Albion for an undisclosed fee. He made his Brighton debut on 18 August, in a 1–1 draw with Huddersfield Town. Murphy scored his first goal for Brighton on 26 September, in a 2–2 draw with Bolton Wanderers that also saw him receive a red card in the second half of the game. Murphy made 35 appearances for Brighton in the 2015–16 season, scoring six goals, as the Seagulls narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League by finishing in 3rd place on goal difference.

In January 2012, Motherwell accepted an offer from Sheffield Wednesday to sign Murphy, but he rejected the proposed transfer. In late December 2012, Sheffield United showed an interest in signing him, and Murphy was subsequently subject to a £100,000 bid from the Blades. However, by 27 December it was reported that the Blades bid had been rejected by Motherwell with Murphy dismissing transfer speculation. Despite this, a few days later Motherwell boss Stuart McCall confirmed that Murphy has been talking to Sheffield United with a view to a transfer, and that Motherwell had accepted a bid of £100,000 which could rise to £250,000. Murphy played his last game for Motherwell on 2 January 2013, having been made captain for the occasion, in a 1–0 loss to Celtic at Celtic Park. He departed from Fir Park having scored 50 goals in 215 appearances for Motherwell. Shortly after his departure Murphy was awarded the Clydesdale Bank Premier League Player of the Month award for December.

Despite interest from Huddersfield Town and Rangers, Murphy's move to Sheffield United was finalised on 3 January 2013, when he signed a three and a half-year contract for an undisclosed fee. Murphy made his Blades debut two days later, in a 3–0 third round FA Cup victory against Oxford United at the Kassam Stadium, Before making his league debut for United against Yeovil Town at Bramall Lane a week later, and Murphy's first goal for the Blades came in a 2–0 away victory against Bury the following February. Murphy's first few months with United were hampered by a hamstring injury, and finished the season having played 21 games and scoring two goals.

With Motherwell having qualified for European competition, in July 2008 Murphy scored a hat-trick against Albanian side Flamurtari in the UEFA Europa League. After remaining a regular in Motherwell's first team, Murphy agreed an extended contract in May 2010 tying him to the club until the summer of 2013. After scoring in the first leg of Motherwell's 2010–11 Europa League third-round match against Aalesunds FK on 29 July 2010, he became Motherwell's leading goalscorer in European football, breaking the record previously held by Steve Kirk.

Murphy played as a junior for Westwood Rovers, Drumchapel Thistle and Clyde before joining Motherwell's under-13 team. After progressing through the ranks at Motherwell, Murphy made his first-team début during the 2006–07 season, and scored his first Motherwell goal from the penalty spot in a 2–0 away win over Hibernian in May 2008.
