On-loan winger Jacob Murphy has apologised to Blackpool fans after a snapchat photo message with the caption "We are going to lose... Again" was leaked online.

A screenshot of Murphy's snapchat, which was a selfie with Blackpool teammate Donervon Daniels, was posted on Twitter earlier today, and Murphy has quickly apologised.

In a statement on the club's website, the Norwich City player wrote: "I'd like to offer my sincerest apologies to the manager, my teammates, the fans and everybody at Blackpool Football Club for the hurt and embarrassment that a recent photo message I sent has caused. It was totally unprofessional of me and a foolish thing to do.

"I have loved my time at Blackpool so far, and I've been really grateful for the support I've received. I know I have let the manager and fans down badly, but I aim to repay them by working even harder and helping the team climb up the league table.

"I'd also like to make clear that Donervon Daniels had no part in this and I apologise for implicating him."

Murphy's photo was taken before Blackpool's home game against fellow Championship strugglers on Sunday, which Blackpool went on to draw 1-1 at Bloomfield Road.

Tangerines boss Lee Clark added: "I'm extremely disappointed because I expect nothing but total professionalism from my players. We will now investigate this matter internally before deciding upon an outcome."

Murphy, 19, is on loan at Blackpool until February. He has scored twice in nine Championship appearances so far for the Lancashire side.
