Josh Murphy's miserable season ends abruptly as Preston North End axe Cardiff City man over 'attitude' problem

Cardiff City winger Josh Murphy's miserable season has gone from bad to worse after his loan club Preston North End bombed him out of the squad with immediate effect, with reports citing "punctuality and attitude" problems.

The 27-year-old's campaign started with Mick McCarthy sanctioning a loan move to the Deepdale club, who were managed at the time by Murphy's former coach at Norwich City, Frankie McAvoy. But the player's season has lurched from one disappointment to the next, with lack of game-time and injuries blighting his stint with the Lancashire outfit.

And now, according to our sister title LancsLive, Murphy, along with Izzy Brown, has been released from the club with immediate effect. The publication adds that "punctuality is a factor behind their early exits, with attitude having not impressed either".
