Born in Knockcroghery, County Roscommon, Murray was introduced to Gaelic football during his schooling at Roscommon CBS. A two-time Connacht medalist he also enjoyed All-Ireland successes at inter-provincial level. At club level Murray first lined out as a minor with St. Patrick's. In a distinguished career he won six championship medals.

Murray made his debut on the inter-county scene when he first linked up with the Roscommon minor team. An All-Ireland medallist in this grade, Murray later claimed an All-Ireland medal as a non-playing substitute with the junior team before joining the senior team.

As a member of the Connacht inter-provincial team on a number of occasions, Murray never won a Railway Cup medal. He retired from inter-county football following the conclusion of the 1948 championship.

His brother, Jimmy Murray, was an All-Ireland-winning captain with Roscommon.
