Simon Murray

Simon Murray of Dundee was born in Dundee, Scotland on 15 March 1992 (age 33).

Simon Murray was born in Scotland on 15 March 1992, making him 33 years of age at present. Even though he's a Scottish forward, his significant contributions are primarily for Dundee as a striker. Standing 5ft 11in (1.82m) tall and weighing in at 11 stone (70kg), the current become the picture of a robust footballer, he carries the weight of the number 15 jersey.

As per Transfermarkt, Murray's market value is approximately £170k. He still has 1 year and 8 months left on his contract with Dundee, which is set to expire on 31 May 2027.

Murray started his professional career at Montrose in Scottish League One in July 2010, making only a single first-team appearance during his inaugural season. His next move saw him transferring to Tayport in Scotland in January 2011.

He stayed with Tayport until July 2014 before moving to Arbroath in Scotland's Championship where, in season 2014-2015, Murray made 35 first team appearances scoring an impressive 19 goals in league matches.

However, his breakthrough came in July 2015, when he transferred from Arbroath to Scottish Premiership side Dundee United for a fee around the £50k mark. Over two seasons (2015-17), he made 54 appearances and netted 17 goals for the side.

Murray's hustle saw him join another Premiership outfit, Hibernian, in July 2017. He spent a fruitful season there making 22 appearances and scoring six goals. He was then loaned to Dundee in the Premiership in January 2018 where he made 14 appearances and netted thrice in the season.

Unexpectedly, Murray moved to South African first division club Bidvest Wits in July 2018 for a transfer fee believed to be around £130k. However, it wasn't long before he was back in Scotland, joining Championship side Queen's Park in September 2020. He shrugged off the disappointment of his African sojourn by scoring an impressive 15 goals from 22 appearances for Queen's Park during the 2022-23 season.

In January 2023, Murray moved to Ross County in the Championship for an undisclosed fee. During his stint there, he made 51 appearances and scored 16 goals over a span of two seasons (2022-2024).

The next adventure in Murray's football journey saw him returning to the Premiership with Dundee in July 2024 for an undisclosed fee. In his two seasons (2024-26) there, he notched up 38 appearances and scored a notable 17 goals, making him an indispensable asset for Dundee. However, the current season (2025-26) has seen a slow start, with Murray making 5 appearances and scoring one goal.

His performance extends beyond the league as well - Murray's appearances in Cup matches had been more than promising. During the recent League Cup (2025-26) he scored two goals from four starts, and in Scottish Cup (2024-25) he scored one goal across three starts, certainly proving his worth for Dundee.
