Murray grew up in Chirnside, Scotland, and started her career playing with local boys' clubs. At the age of 12 she joined the youth set-up at Hibernian Ladies. She progressed through the age groups and into the senior side, winning all domestic honours along the way and latterly being under-17 captain.[3] Murray made her UEFA Women's Cup debut in July 2004 against Rapide Wezemaal and has made six appearances in the competition to date.[4]

After being called up to the Scotland Under-17 squad in 2002, Murray came through the various age-group teams and made her full international debut against Belgium in August 2007. She scored her first international goal against Northern Ireland in a May 2009 challenge match.[2][5]
