Murphy made 124 league appearances for Tranmere in two spells
Tranmere goalkeeper Joe Murphy has announced his retirement from football at the age of 44.
Murphy, who had also been part of Rovers' coaching staff since 2022, began his career with the club, making his debut in 1999.
He spent four years at Prenton Park before moving to West Brom, going on to play for the likes of Sunderland, Coventry and Scunthorpe before rejoining Rovers in 2020.
"I think it's time to step away and have some family time and think about my next chapter," Murphy told the club website.
