Born in New York and raised in Texas, Murray won a collegiate national championship with North Carolina Tar Heels before starting her professional career in 2015 with Liverpool of the FA Women's Super League. She spent four years with Liverpool before joining Houston Dash on a free transfer.

Collegiate career

Murray had a stellar collegiate career, appearing 85 times for the North Carolina Tar Heels. She was instrumental in helping UNC win its 21st national championship in 2012.[3] For her effort, she was twice named an All-American as well as the most outstanding defensive player at the 2012 NCAA College Cup.[4]

Professional career

Liverpool

Murray signed with two-time defending FA WSL champion Liverpool in 2015.[5] While at the club she made 68 appearances at centre-back and right-back, scoring two goals.[6]

Houston Dash

Murray was recruited through the NWSL Discovery Process by the Houston Dash ahead of their 2019 season. A native from Austin she expressed excitement at playing in her home state.[7][8]

International career

Born in the United States, Murray was also eligible to represent England through her mother (who was born in London), Jamaica through her paternal family, Antigua and Barbuda through her maternal grandfather or Guyana through her maternal grandmother.[9]

In 2010, Guyana named Murray to its provisional squad for the Gold Cup.[10] Despite Guyana head coach Mark Rodrigues' excitement over her inclusion at the time,[11] Murray ultimately did not play for Guyana.

Following her move to Liverpool and after not receiving international call-ups by the United States,[4] Murray was called up to the England U23 team for two training camps in 2016.[12][13]

On 24 October 2021, Murray made her senior international debut for Jamaica.[14]
