Derry Murkin’s Short Stint at FC Utrecht Likely Coming to an End

It appears that Derry Murkin’s adventure with FC Utrecht will be limited to just half a season. The left-back joined the club from Schalke 04 last summer and is now on the verge of transferring to Derby County, as reported by SoccerNews.

After his arrival from Schalke 04, Murkin made a promising start to his tenure at FC Utrecht. The transfer reportedly involved a fee of around 1.2 million euros, and expectations were relatively high for the offensively-minded full-back. In his nine appearances in the Eredivisie, he managed to score two goals and provide three assists, showcasing impressive productivity for a defender.
