Simon Murray

Simon Murray of Dundee was born in Dundee, Scotland on 15 March 1992 (age 32).

Scottish forward Simon Murray was born on 15 March 1992. He primarily operates as a striker for Dundee Football Club, donning the number 15 jersey. Standing at an impressive 5ft 11in (1.82m) and weighing 11st (70kg), Murray is a formidable figure in Scottish football. As per the records on Transfermarkt, the 32-year-old forward holds a current market value of approximately £170k. His ongoing contract with Dundee is slated to expire on 31 May 2027.

Murray ignited his football career in July 2010 with Montrose in League One, Scotland, albeit his debut season witnessed him make a single first team appearance in league matches. In January 2011, he transferred from Montrose to join Tayport in Scotland's Junior Teams. Murray's breakthrough followed in July 2014, when he relocated to Arbroath in League One, Scotland, where he registered 19 goals from 35 first team appearances in the 2014-2015 season.

Subsequent transfers saw Murray navigate through various Scottish clubs. In July 2015, he moved from Arbroath to Dundee United in the Premiership, Scotland for a deal considered around £50k, where he scored a total of 17 goals over two seasons. A year later, he switched from Dundee United to Hibernian, scoring 6 goals in the 2017-2018 season.

In January 2018, Murray was loaned to Dundee, his current club, for the remainder of the season. After a brief spell in South Africa with Bidvest Wits, which saw his transfer for about £150k in July 2018, Murray returned to Scottish football in September 2020 to play for Queen's Park in the Championship. His stints in Scotland further took him to Ross County in January 2023, where he netted 16 goals across two seasons.

Returning to Dundee in July 2024, Murray has since proved a valuable asset to the club. Currently, in the 2024-2025 season, he has made 25 first team appearances and scored eight goals. Notably, Murray's exploits extend beyond league matches. During the 2024-2025 season, he made commendable contributions to Dundee's League Cup and Scottish Cup runs, with five goals from five appearances and one goal from two starts, respectively.
