Tom Murphy is a professional Australian rules footballer playing for North Melbourne in the Australian Football League (AFL). He is a defender.[1] Murphy made his debut in round 12, 2018, against the Brisbane Lions at Docklands Stadium,[2] as a late replacement for Jarrad Waite.[3]

Murphy originally played for the Dandenong Stingrays in the TAC Cup. He trained with North Melbourne's Victorian Football League squad before he was drafted by North Melbourne with pick 4 in the 2017 rookie draft. Recruiting manager Mark Finnigan said that Murphy was selected for his penetrating kick and mix of speed and endurance.[4] Murphy was delisted by North Melbourne at the end of the 2020 AFL season after a mass delisting by North Melbourne which saw 11 players cut from the team's list.[5]
