Murphy in PFA Team of the Year - Ipswich Town News

Town’s 25-goal top scorer Daryl Murphy has been named in the PFA Sky Bet Championship Team of the Year.

Murphy, named Town’s Player of the Year earlier in the month, became the first Blues player to net 25 league goals in a season since Ray Crawford in the 1962/63 campaign when he scored the opener in yesterday's 2-1 victory over Nottingham Forest.

The Team of the Year, which is voted for by their fellow players, also includes ex-Town skipper Grant Leadbitter, now with Middlesbrough, and one-time academy schoolboy Richard Keogh, currently with Derby.

PFA Sky Bet Championship Team of the Year: Keiren Westwood (Sheffield Wednesday), Russell Martin (Norwich), Richard Keogh (Derby County), George Friend (Middlesbrough), Simon Francis (Bournemouth), Matt Ritchie (Bournemouth), Grant Leadbitter (Middlesbrough), Bakary Sako (Wolves), Alex Pritchard (Brentford), Daryl Murphy (Ipswich), Troy Deeney (Watford).
