Celtic Career Review

An Irish prospect brought over from Ferrybank AFC in the summer of 2004 and utilised primarily in the following season's U17 side. He headed back across the water within the year and turned out for hometown club Waterford United in their 2005 season.

However, he failed to impress and was consigned to his original club Ferrybank upon his release.

Considerably improved perfomances and attitude with the junior side won him another chance with "the blues" in 2007, albeit predominantly in the club's U21 side. He made a single first division appearance for the first team in 2007 but the following season became something of regular in the club's ultimately unsuccessful bid for promotion. Playing alongside another ex-Celt Vinny Sullivan, penalty specialist Dunphy contributed four goals – all from the spot.

Has also re-signed for 2009 as he looks to fulfil the potential which won him a move to Celtic (and a trial spell with Blackburn Rovers according to the Ferrybank website) and help Waterford back to the Eircom Premier Division.
