Having returned to Scotland, Murray signed for Stenhousemuir on 8 July 2015,[7] however, he left the club in May 2016 after declining the offer of a new contract to pursue a full-time offer from an English club.[8] On 22 July 2016, Murray signed for English National League club Barrow.[9] He subsequently signed for Southport, before once again returning to Scotland, this time to sign with Scottish League One team Raith Rovers in June 2017.[10]

After two seasons with the Rovers, Murray signed with Fife rivals Dunfermline Athletic in June 2019.[11]
