He maintains a solid footing at Dundee, with a contract until 31 May 2027.
Tracing back through his footballing chronicles, Murray launched his career with Montrose in the League One back in July 2010. His stint at Montrose was brief and he made a solitary first team appearance in the league that season. By January 2011, he had switched gears to become part of Tayport in Scotland's Junior Teams.
In another turning point, July 2014 saw Murray move from Tayport to Arbroath, also in League One. His tenure at Arbroath was marked by 35 first team appearances and a remarkable tally of 19 goals in league matches. The following year saw Murray move on to Dundee United in the Premiership, fuelled by a worth of approximately £43k. His two seasons there were crowned with 54 first team appearances and a total of 17 league goals.
The journey continued as Murray was ushered to Hibernian in Premiership in July 2017. Here, he made 22 first team appearances and scored six goals in league fixtures. It was during this period that he briefly tasted the waters at Dundee on loan, amounting to 14 first team appearances and three goals in league matches for the season 2017 - 2018.
Murray's path then led to South Africa, where he joined Bidvest Wits in the First Division in July 2018 for about £129k. In September 2020, Scotland called again, and he returned to play for Queen's Park in the Championship for two seasons. A return to the Premiership was in the cards as Ross County secured Murray’s services in January 2023 for an undisclosed fee. During two seasons with the club, he made 51 first team appearances and netted 16 league goals.
From Ross County, Murray moved to Dundee, again for an undisclosed transfer fee in July 2024. At present, rounding off the 2024 - 2025 season, he has clocked up 38 first team appearances and a respectable 16 goals to his name in league matches.
