Across 36 appearances as a replacement, Murray's contribution is built on defensive solidity rather than ball-carrying volume, averaging just under three tackles per match from limited minutes on the pitch. His carrying numbers are modest by design, reflecting a role focused on game management and control rather than running threats. When called upon more heavily, he has shown the capacity to step up, with single-game peaks of eight tackles and six carries demonstrating there is more in the locker when the match demands it.
