Christie Murray (born 3 May 1990) is a Scottish football midfielder or striker, who is currently with Bristol Academy, having last played for Arsenal Ladies in the 2014 FA WSL. She previously played for Celtic and Glasgow City in the Scottish Women's Premier League.[2]

Club career

While playing for Scotland Under–17s Murray was scouted by Carson–Newman College. Aged 16, she moved to Jefferson City, Tennessee on a soccer scholarship and scored six goals for the Lady Eagles.[3] After four years with Celtic, Murray signed for Glasgow City in January 2011. She helped her new club reach the 2012 Champions League's round of 16. Two years later, Murray played in City's round of 16 defeat by Arsenal. She impressed the English club's Scottish manager Shelley Kerr who swooped to sign her in January 2014.[4]

Murray left Arsenal Ladies after the 2014 season as her contract ended.[5] In February 2015 she signed a contract with Bristol Academy, after impressing during a trial period with the club.[6]

International career

She made her debut with the senior Scottish national team against New Zealand at the Cyprus Cup in March 2010. With Scotland drawing 1–1 with the Republic of Ireland in their April 2012 Euro 2013 qualifier at Tynecastle Stadium, Murray scored a late winner as the Scots came back to win 2–1.[7]

Since 2009 Murray attended the Scottish Football Association National Performance Centre at the University of Stirling.[8]
