Oscar Murphy Dorley (born 19 July 1998) is a Liberian professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Slavia Prague and the Liberia national team.
He was born in Monrovia. He was born Murphy Dorley, but one of his coaches started calling him Oscar because his physique and playing style reminded him of Brazilian footballer Oscar. The name Oscar then became known throughout his native country and became part of his name.[2]
Dorley spent his early career with Monrovia Club Breweries and Trakai.[1][3] In February 2018, he joined Czech team Slovan Liberec on loan for the remainder of the 2017–18 season.[4] In January 2019, he made the deal permanent, signing a three-and-a-half-year contract.[5]
On 11 August 2019, Dorley signed for Slavia Prague on a four-year contract from Slovan Liberec, with the midfielder staying on loan at Slovan Liberec until the end of 2019.[6]
He made his international debut for Liberia on 5 July 2015 in a 1–1 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying draw against Guinea.[1]
