With a market value of 900,000 euros, John Murkin is one of the most valuable professionals in his team. His contract in Volendam expires next year. The defender, who can be used anywhere on the left flank, was trained at the Dutch top flight club and has been part of the first team there since 2019. He has nine goals and 23 assists in 97 appearances.
At S04, he would help on the left back, because only Thomas Ouwejan (26) is planned for this position. The Dutchman had to be substituted during the half-time break in the 2-0 draw against Holstein Kiel on Friday evening. U23 talent Joey Müller (22) came on for him. Royal Blue conceded the third defeat in the fourth league game.
