Murphy Akanji, December 1, 1977, is a goalkeeper, currently playing with Sliema Wanderers. Following a promising career in Nigeria, he joined Sliema Wanderers from Julius Berger in August 2001, and he aspired to make an impression and rapidly travel to a better club in a more significant European league. Has been one of the best goalkeepers in the Maltese league throughout the past years although sometimes he mixes flashes of brilliance with beginners’ mistakes, making consistency his main flaw. In both 05/06 and 06/07 he was won the Malta Football Best Goalkeeper award. He is an international goalkeeper and has represented Nigeria at the African Nations Cup.
