Murphy Wiredu (born January 15, 1985) is a Canadian soccer player who currently plays for the Toronto Lynx.

[edit] Playing career

He first played soccer at Monsignor Johnson Catholic High School in North York, where he was captain of the soccer team and also earned MVP honours for the volleyball team. In his youth years he played with CS Azzurri Hearts. In 2004 he received a scholarship to play for Saint Peter's College in Jersey City, New Jersey. In his freshman year he led the MAAC conference in goals with nine, and was named into conference All-Rookie team. In 2006 he was second in scoring for Saint Peters with 9 goals and 3 assists. When the college soccer season was over he signed for the Ottawa Fury of the Premier Development League where he appeared in five games and notched two goals.

In 2007 he signed for the Toronto Lynx, where he was able to establish himself as one of the elite strikers in the PDL. In the beginning of the season he was unable to find the back of the net in his first seven games, but he would end to finish the season notching 10 goals in the team’s final nine games. He was rewarded when the Lynx presented their annual Player Awards prior to their final home game, being named Best Offensive Player. He helped the Lynx finish the season with a 6-6-4 record, good for fourth place in the division and only 6 points short of a playoff berth.
