Club career

Murrugarra played in the youth ranks of Juventud Progreso, a team in the District League of Barranca in the Copa Perú, from 2012 to 2014. He then moved to Sporting Cristal, where he played the 2015 Torneo de Promoción y Reserva but was unable to make his professional debut.

In 2016, Murrugarra was signed by Deportivo Coopsol from the Peruvian Segunda División, [2] making his professional debut with the team on 14 August 2016, in a 1–1 tie against Alianza Universidad. As a 19 year old, he played a total of 12 matches in his first professional season.

Murrugarra was then signed by Universidad Técnica de Cajamarca, from the Torneo Descentralizado, for the 2017 season, making his debut with the team on 26 May 2017, coming from the bench in a 3–0 victory against Juan Aurich. From then on, Murrugarra became a starting player in UTC's midfield, finishing the year with a total of 25 matches. He was also considered the best new player in the team, [3] which managed to qualify to the 2018 Copa Sudamericana first stage. The following season, Murrugarra remained an undisputed starter in UTC's midfield, next to Benjamín Ubierna, and played a total of 32 matches. In January 2019, he renewed his contract with the team for one more season, [4] in which he once more played in the Copa Sudamericana first stage.

In December 2019, Murrugarra signed for Ayacucho FC with a contract for one season, [5] on request by his former UTC manager Gerardo Ameli, making his debut on 7 February 2020, coming from the bench in a 2–1 victory against Sport Boys. That year, Murrugarra was part of Ayacucho's historic Fase 2 win, after defeating Sporting Cristal in the final, and played a total of 23 matches, giving 2 assists. His good performances throughout the season led to him catching the attention of the technical staff of Ángel Comizzo, manager of Universitario de Deportes.

In January 2021, Murrugarra was announced as a new signing of Universitario with a contract for one season and a half, in order to play both the Liga 1 and the Copa Libertadores. [6] He played his first game with la U on matchday 1, in a 1–1 tie against FBC Melgar.
