Simon Murray

Simon Murray of Dundee was born in Dundee, Scotland on 15 March 1992 (age 34).

Born on the fifteenth of March, 1992, Scottish football player Simon Murray, now aged 34, has cemented his role as a leading forward and striker for Dundee. An imposing figure on the pitch, Murray stands at five feet eleven inches (1.82m) tall and weighs eleven stone (70kg). Murray represents Dundee on-field, fascinating viewers with his play while donning the number 15 jersey.

As per market appraisals by Transfermarkt, Simon Murray's current market value circles around £128k.

Murray began his professional journey with Montrose in Scotland's League One in July 2010, though his footballing prowess truly caught the public eye during the 2014 to 2015 season with Arbroath, another Scottish Championship team, where he made 35 first-team appearances and netted 19 goals in league matches.

With a promising record, Murray secured his move to Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership, for a transfer fee near £50k. During his tenure from 2015 to 2017, Murray made impactful contributions to his team, scoring seventeen goals in fifty-four appearances over two seasons.

Murray's career saw a new horizon in July 2017 when he moved to Hibernian, also part of the Scottish Premiership. However, in a surprising turn of events, after scoring six goals in twenty-two appearances for Hibernian, Murray was loaned to Dundee seven months later.

In his first loan spell with Dundee, Murray assured his worth by making a mark in fourteen league matches, where he scored thrice. Years later, during season 2024-2025 with Dundee, Murray turned heads rewriting his records, making thirty-eight first team appearances and scoring sixteen times. The present 2025-2026 season sees Murray maintaining his form with five goals in twenty-five appearances.

Simon Murray's journey took an international twist when he transferred to Bidvest Wits in South Africa's First Division in July 2018 for around £150k. After two years there, he returned to Scotland and struck fifteen goals in twenty-two appearances for Queen's Park in the Championship during the 2022-2023 season.

Ross County, another Scottish Championship side, was the next destination for Murray. In just two seasons with Ross County, he made fifty-one appearances and scored sixteen times. Following this stint, Murray made a return to Dundee for an undisclosed fee in July 2024.

Currently, Murray holds a formidable record with Dundee, boasting twenty-four goals from seventy-seven appearances spread over three different terms. He also participated in the League Cup 2025-2026 for Dundee, scoring twice from four starts, and appeared in the Scottish Cup 2025-2026, once as a starter and once as a substitute.
