Donegal captain Michael Murphy has been named as the GAA.ie Footballer of the Week.

Murphy was part of the Donegal side who opened their Ulster SFC with a quarter-final win over Armagh on Sunday, on a 1-16 to 0-12 scoreline.

The official GAA website said: The Glenswilly man received 5,256 votes on the GAA’s Official Instagram page which put him ahead of Galway’s Paul Conroy (4,558) and Wicklow’s Kevin Quinn (3,361).

Michael Murphy
Michael Murphy was the main man for Donegal in their fine win over Armagh. He scored six points, two of them from play, and was at the heart of many more attacking thrusts over the course of the match.
