Career

Volendam

Murkin played youth football for ZVV Zaandijk, KFC Koog aan de Zaan, VPV Purmersteijn, and Fortuna Wormerveer, before joining Volendam's youth academy in 2015. In the 2018–19 season, he scored 21 goals in 34 appearances for Jong FC Volendam, the second team, helping them to a Derde Divisie league title. [1] [3] Halfway through the 2018–19 season, Murkin also made his professional first-team debut for Volendam, coming on as a substitute in a 3–1 loss to Eindhoven in the Eerste Divisie on 18 January 2019. [4] He scored his first goal for Volendam on 22 November 2019, giving the Palingboeren a 2–0 lead in the 32nd minute, which eventually proved decisive in the 2–1 away victory against Excelsior. [5] [6]

Murkin made his breakthrough in the 2020–21 season, as he was repositioned as a left-back under head coach Wim Jonk, due to Gijs Smal's departure to Twente. [7] He made six goals and provided seven assists in 32 total appearances that season, and his performances earned him the award of Volendam Talent of the season. [8]

Schalke 04

On 30 August 2023, Murkin signed a three-year contract with German 2. Bundesliga club Schalke 04. [9] He made his debut for Die Königsblauen on 2 September in a league game against Wehen Wiesbaden, replacing Sōichirō Kōzuki at half-time, and providing his first assist nine minutes later in a 1–1 draw. [10] [11] On 16 September he scored his first goal for the club equalising the score to 2–2, and eventually helping his side to a 4–3 home victory against 1. FC Magdeburg. [12]
