Simon Murray, born 15 March 1992 (age 32), in Scotland, is a forward who primarily plays as a striker for Dundee. Standing at a sturdy 5ft 11in (1.82m) and weighing 11st (70kg), Murray dons the number 15 jersey.
Murray's current market value is touted around £176k, according to Transfermarkt. His contract with Dundee, set to expire on 31 May 2027, has 2years and 6months left to run.
Murray's journey in football started back in July 2010 when he joined Montrose in the League One in Scotland. However, his time there was short-lived, making only a solitary first-team appearance in league matches in his debut 2010 - 2011 season.
January 2011 saw his transfer from Montrose to Tayport in the Junior Teams in Scotland, prior to an eventual move to Arbroath in the League One in Scotland in July 2014. It was here Murray found his footing, securing 19 goals in 35 first-team appearances during the 2014 - 2015 season.
July 2015 saw Murray transferred from Arbroath to Dundee United for a nominal fee of £50k. His tenure at Dundee United was productive, with 22 first team appearances and seven goals scored in the 2015 - 2016 season, while the following 2016 - 2017 season saw a rise to ten goals from 32 first team appearances.
The forward found himself with Hibernian in the Premiership in July 2017, a spell where he made 22 first team appearances and netted six goals during the 2017 - 2018 season. However, he was soon put on loan to Dundee, making 14 first team appearances with three goals during that same season. During his current 2024 - 2025 season with Dundee, he has made another 14 appearances, increasing his tally by four.
July 2018 saw Murray venturing out of Scotland to join Bidvest Wits in the First Division in South Africa for a sum around £132k. His stay there was short, as he soon returned to Scotland in September 2020, this time to Queen's Park in the Championship, where he had an impressive record of 15 goals from 22 first-team appearances in the 2022 - 2023 season.
Murray soon transferred to Ross County in the Premiership in January 2023, where he maintained a commendable score tally with two goals from 14 appearances in the first half of the 2022 - 2023 season, and a remarkable 14 goals from 37 first team appearances in the 2023 - 2024 season. Subsequently in July 2024, Ross County transferred Murray to his current club Dundee for an undisclosed fee.
In his time at Dundee, which brings us up to now, Murray has had 14 appearances with three goals in the 2017 - 2018 season, while this current season 2024 - 2025, has already seen him make 14 first team appearances and score four goals in league matches. To top it off, he has also contributed significantly to Dundee's League Cup 2024 - 2025 campaign, scoring five goals across four starts and one appearance as a substitute.
