Murray was picked for the Lions Tour 2009, to South Africa. He was one of only 2 Scottish players originally selected, the other being Nathan Hines. Scotland captain Mike Blair and fellow front rower Ross Ford were later called up as replacements. In 2009, he announced he would no longer be playing on Sundays, out of his commitment to the Christian Sabbath, prompting comparisons to Eric Liddell. In December 2010 it was announced that Murray would be leaving Northampton by mutual consent and with immediate effect. He currently plays for Worcester Warriors.

Murray played most of his club rugby with Glasgow Southern before he went on to join Glasgow Hawks and then a professional contract with Glasgow Warriors and his subsequent international career.
