Murphy glad to be back in action

Johne Murphy
Murphy is the current Tigers player of the season

Leicester Tigers back Johne Murphy is delighted to be back in action for the club after a two month lay-off following an operation on his knee.

The 23-year-old came off the bench in Saturday's win against London Irish after playing just 20 minutes in the pre-season game against Western Force.

Murphy told BBC Radio Leicester: "I felt quite sharp. There's a way to go before I'm back where I was last year.

"It's been a frustrating eight weeks since my knee operation."

Murphy, who signed a new deal in April, added: "It's nice to get back in there. I saw the surgeon yesterday for a routine check and he's very happy with everything so it's all going well."

The Ireland A international made his Leicester debut in the 2006/07 season and was named the Tigers player of the year in May.
