Murphy Joseph Cooper (formerly Mahoney, born 27 December 2001) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for EFL League One side Stevenage on loan from EFL Championship club Queens Park Rangers.

Club career

Starting his career with local side, Caversham AFC, Cooper joined Queens Park Rangers in 2012, following a two-year spell at Wycombe Wanderers prior to their academy closing.[4][5] During the 2021–22 campaign, Cooper spent time on loan in the National League South with Welling United[2] and Bath City[6] before eventually joining Stratford Town over the Christmas period.[7] Upon his return to West London, he went onto make his debut for the club during a 2–1 away defeat to Preston North End, stepping in for the injured Kieren Westwood.[8]

On 28 June 2022, Cooper signed a new two-year deal with QPR, keeping him with the club until 2024.[9]

On 29 June 2023, Cooper signed for League Two club Swindon Town on loan for the duration of the 2023–24 season.[10] He was ever-present for Swindon Town in EFL League Two until his loan spell was abruptly cut-short due to a hamstring injury sustained in the 2-1 loss at Tranmere Rovers in December 2023.[11]

On 3 August 2024, Cooper joined League One club Stevenage on a season-long loan deal.[12]

Personal life

Cooper was known as Murphy Mahoney until he changed his name by deed poll in July 2024.[13]
