Career
Cambridge United
A full back, Murray joined Division Four club Cambridge United from non-league side Rivet Sports in September 1976.[1][3] He quickly became an important player in the club's rise from the Fourth to the Second Division and made 147 consecutive appearances between 1980 and his departure in 1984.[2] As of November 2014, Murray is 11th on Cambridge United's record-appearances list.[4]
Sunderland (loan)
In March 1984,[1] Murray joined Division One club Sunderland on loan with a view to a permanent move.[5] He made just one appearance in a 1–1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur on 7 April before returning to the Abbey Stadium.[6][7]
Brentford
Murray joined Division Three side Brentford in a £30000 deal in July 1984.[5] He was an ever-present during the 1984–85 season and missed just one match in 1985–86.[5] He continued his virtual ever-present status through the 1986–87 season, but surprisingly departed Griffin Park in September 1987.[5] Murray made 156 appearances and scored four goals in just over three years with Brentford.[5]
Return to Cambridge United
Murray returned to Cambridge United, then having dropped back to Division Four,[8] in September 1987.[1] He appeared sparingly and left at the end of the 1987–88 season.[1]

Murray closed out his career with a spell at Eastern Counties League side Soham Town Rangers.[2]
Coaching career
Murray briefly served as assistant to Steve Fallon at Histon during the 2000s.[2]
