The 27-year-old forward joins the Marina Machans after spending the last season with Thai outfit Nakhon Ratchasima FC. Murray brings with him his vast experience from the A-League and Thai League.
“I’m delighted to be a part of this great club Chennaiyin FC. Can’t wait to meet the team and everyone at the club. I’m looking forward to returning to India and I’m excited to meet and play in front of the incredible Chennaiyin fans. B Stand Blues and Supermachans, get ready!” he commented.
Murray has also played in India before, making his Hero Indian Super League debut for Kerala Blasters FC in the 2020-21 season before moving to Jamshedpur FC in 2021-22 where he also won the Hero ISL Shield. Over two seasons in the Hero ISL, Murray has scored 11 goals in 34 appearances.
Chennaiyin FC, who are yet to name their new head coach after Thomas Brdraic departure earlier this year, have been on a rebuild after the exit of Anirudh Thapa and many others. While Murray is the first foreign addition to the team, CFC has signed seven Indian players so far.
