Despite this she is still regarded as a local treasure of Ballymore and notably in their top five best athletes.

At the start of the 2018/19 season, Murphy started coaching the inaugural Naas RFC Women's team alongside Leinster and Ireland U20's player Adam Coyle. The team were promoted from Leinster Women's League Division 4 to Division 3 in their breakthrough season.

Jenny is also a casual fill-in host for the SportsJOE.ie Baz and Andrew's House of Rugby Podcast starring former Munster and Ireland centre Barry Murphy alongside Ireland and Ulster back Andrew Trimble.
