Biography


Murray commenced playing in the Women's National Basketball League (WNBL) in 2006. Since then, Murray has played for the AIS (2006 to 2008), Adelaide Lightning (2008/09 to 2010/11), and Townsville Fire (2011/12 to present).[4]

Considered dangerous at both ends of the floor, Murray’s size makes her a difficult match-up for opposition teams and her shooting ability from beyond the arc ensures that she spreads the court.[4] In the 2015 WNBL Grand Final, Murray won the MVP award after finishing with a game-high 23 points at 50 per cent, including 3-of-5 threes, seven rebounds and three assists performance.[5][6][7]

At official FIBA events, Murray played for Australia at the 2007 World Championship for Junior Women held in Bratislava, Slovak Republic.[8] At the World University Games, Newley won Bronze medals in 2009 and 2011.[4]

Murray's brother, Brad, is an Australian professional basketball player who currently plays for CB Gran Canaria of the Liga ACB in Spain.[3][9]
