Retirement
Murray's decision to retire at the end of the 2023–24 season was announced on Twitter on 8 May 2024. During her career she made 507 appearances for Hibernian Women and was capped 48 times for Scotland. The 37-year-old won all domestic trophies with her childhood club – including two SWPL titles, seven Scottish Cups and five League Cups.[7]
Speaking to the Hibernian FC website regarding her retirement she stated: “physically and mentally I feel it is the right time for me to bow out of the game and I hope I've left it in a better place than I found it."[8]
