MICHAEL MURPHY was last night named as the 2019 Irish News Player of the Year with EIGHT Donegal Players selected as Irish News All-Stars.

Donegal captain Murphy was honoured with the Player of the Year award after another imperious summer.

The Glenswilly man was selected at midfield on the team, alongside Jarlath Og Burns of Armagh.
