Murphy's Ireland ambition
Tuesday February 09 2010
Ipswich striker Daryl Murphy is hoping that a run of goals for Ipswich can help resurrect his international career.
Murphy rejoined Roy Keane at Portman Road last week with a loan move from Sunderland and took just 22 seconds to open the scoring against Middlesbrough on Saturday.
He had not scored for 45 games before the weekend but harbours ambitions of returning to the Ireland picture after nearly two years out of the squad.
"I know my goals record doesn't look good but I haven't had a chance to play up front for a while," he told Ipswich's official website.
"I've spent a lot of time out on the left wing and I think I have been wasted out wide.
"The manager has said that he wants to use me through the middle and I'm hoping to score goals here. That can only help me at international level."
