Born in Jamaica, Murray came to Norway at the age of 5. Settling in Hønefoss, he joined the youth system of Hønefoss BK around the age of 7. His team became local league champions in the U-15 age group. When the time came to attend upper secondary school, Murray chose Oslo. After commuting to Oslo and playing for Hønefoss, he ultimately joined the U20 team of Skeid.[1][2] He made his senior debut for Skeid in the summer of 2012.[3]
Murray spent his first three senior years in another Oslo-based club, Grorud on the third tier.[3] In 2016 Murray was given the chance to trial for his childhood club Hønefoss, and ended up being signed, incidentally with two of his former U15 teammates.[1]
His breakthrough came after he signed for Grorud again in 2018, and helped the team win promotion from the 2019 2. divisjon and survive the 2020 1. divisjon without being relegated. However, Murray then chose to sign for Kongsvinger in 2021, who had been relegated, but historically was a much larger club than Grorud. He described the team as being more professional, with the team's former back Martin Linnes reaching the national team.[2]
Experiencing success in Kongsvinger, the team was promoted from the 2021 2. divisjon and reached the promotion playoff final of the 2022 1. divisjon. In the winter of 2023, Murray was on trial with Strømsgodset, Hamkam and Aalesund before signing a two-year contract with the latter.[4] He thus made his top-tier debut at the age of 30.[5]
After one season at Aalesund, Murray moved on to Hødd and signed a one-year contract with the club.[6]
He is an older brother of Travis Hernes.[7]
