Per Chronicle Live, he is set for first-team action this season to hone his game.
The Magpies do not have a need for him this season, as both Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles are nearing full fitness.
The club are also pushing to sign a new center half, with Marc Guehi and Edmond Tapsoba the targets.
Murphy did play regularly last term, but that was largely due to many defensive injuries.
