Scottish-born forward, Simon Murray, celebrates his 33 years with an impressive track record and an innate talent for securing goals. Born on 15 March 1992, Murray has demonstrated his aptitude for the sport, playing principally as a striker for the likes of Dundee, Montrose, Arbroath and Dundee United.
Murray's physical prowess is undoubtedly a fundamental asset to his playing style, with his 5ft 11in (1.82m) height and 70kg (11st) weight offering a sturdy grounding for his on-pitch manoeuvres. As a loyal emblem to his club, he dons the number 15 jersey.
According to Transfermarkt, his current market value rings in at a modest €200k (£170k), and with his time at Dundee set to extend for a further 2 years, he's showing no signs of japery in his career.
Showing an outstanding sense of loyalty, Murray's Scottish odyssey led him from Montrose to Tayport, and back to Arbroath in his home country, by 2015. He had made a remarkable 35 appearances and netted an impressive 19 goals in his time with Arbroath, a feat that could only be exceeded with further transfers to Dundee United, and later to Hibernian. His commendable performance remained consistent, netting 32 appearances and 10 goals during his time at Dundee United.
His brief yet fruitful stint at Hibernian saw him bag six goals in 22 appearances in his first season, enhancing his reputation as a reliable first-team regular. The same season would see him loaned to Dundee, where he continues to ply his trade to this day, managing three goals from 14 appearances in his first spell. In his current season with Dundee, the Scottish stalwart has belted 15 goals from a healthy 32 appearances.
Rewinding to 2018, Murray embarked on an outlandish sojourn to the First Division in South Africa for Bidvest Wits, a move that cost around £128k. Upon resuming his career in Scotland with Queen's Park two years later, he exhibited his scoring prowess again, amassing 15 goals in 22 appearances in his first season.
Transfers to Ross County and a return to Dundee quickly followed, with Murray proving to be as dependable as ever for both clubs. Currently, in the 2024 - 2025 season with Dundee, he has chalked up 15 goals in his 32 appearances, not to mention his commendable appearances in the League Cup and Scottish Cup, scoring five and one goal respectively.
