Biography

Newtown forward was selected for the 1911 'Australasian' Kangaroos without any prior rep experience. Murray, who had shown some promise in Newtown's premiership-winning season in 1910, played in just 7 matches on tour. He represented NSW in 1910 and on consecutive tours of NZ in 1912-13.
