career due to illness. He was substituted at half-time in a League Cup tie at Rochdale after a dreadful performance, with Norwich manager Peter Grant admitting afterwards that he should not have played Murray as the player was unwell. His health problems continued as he was ruled out of subsequent matches. Grant left the club in October 2007, and Murray failed to establish himself in the Norwich first team under new boss Glenn Roeder. In an interview given after his departure, Murray said of Roeder, "It was the first time in my life I felt like chucking it during a game, a lot of the players felt that way. He's an angry man, not nice to play for." Return to Hibernian After leaving Norwich, Murray moved back to his first club, Hibernian, on a contract until the end of the 2007–08 season; he subsequently signed a deal to keep him at the club until 2010. He was a candidate for the Hibs captaincy after Rob Jones left for Scunthorpe United in the summer of 2009. New manager John Hughes decided to give the armband to Chris Hogg, with Murray serving as vice captain. Midway through the 2009–10 season, Hibs opened contract talks with Murray, whose contract was due to expire in the summer of 2010. At the same time, he started coaching East of Scotland Football League club Coldstream on a part-time basis. A two-year contract extension was agreed in February 2010.

The Daily Record newspaper commented that Murray showed leadership qualities which had been previously lacking in a struggling Hibs side.

He played regularly in the early part of the season, but appeared infrequently after suffering an injured hip. He left Hibs in May 2012, at the end of his contract. Over his two spells at the club he made 296 appearances in all competitions, scoring 17 goals. After leaving Hibs, Murray had a trial spell with American club Tampa Bay Rowdies.
