'Hopefully 30 is the new 20' - Murphy

Portsmouth winger Josh Murphy says he arrives on the club's pre-season tour of Slovakia on the back of the best season of his career so far.

The 30-year-old scored seven times and provided 14 assists in the Championship for Pompey after joining from Oxford United last summer.

"The main thing was the consistency and performing at a good level all season where as before I've just done it in bits and pieces," Murphy told BBC Radio Solent.

"I was very happy with the output but now that's just the benchmark and I want to get replicate again this year.

"It probably took me longer to figure things out mentally and be able to cope with the down times and the good times but I'm now at an age where I've probably found the right balance.

"Hopefully, 30 is the new 20."
