(£43,000) for the win. After the 2009–10 season, Murdoch's Olympic team broke up. In 2012, Murdoch teamed up with Tom Brewster's rink. The 2012–13 season saw them win the Edinburgh Invitational in late 2012 and the German Masters in Hamburg in January 2013. With Murdoch as skip, they won bronze at the 2013 World Championships. The team took bronze at the 2013 European Championships. In October 2013, he was selected to skip the Great Britain squad at the 2014 Winter Olympics. where he won a silver medal, losing to Canada's Brad Jacobs in the final. His 12 curling matches as skip of the Team GB men at the Sochi Olympics saw his last stones win crucial games including a vital play off against Norway in which his shot was dubbed by national press as ‘shot of the century’ to make the semi-finals and then a last shot against Sweden to secure a silver medal and Olympic final place. The silver medal was the first for Team GB men’s curling since the 1924 games. Curling coverage at Sochi was seen for 30 hours and was the most talked about sport on social media. However, Murdoch's rink endured what he described as "a difficult year" following the 2014 Olympics: they lost in the final of the Scottish Championships in February 2015 to defending champion and former team-mate Ewan MacDonald's team, denying Team Murdoch a place at the 2015 Ford World Men's Curling Championship, before finishing third in the Scottish qualifying tournament held in October of that year for the 2015 European Curling Championships behind Kyle Smith and former team-mate Tom Brewster's rinks, thus failing to secure selection. In 2016 Team Murdoch were runners-up to Team Brewster in both the Scottish championships in February and the European Playdowns in October. Murdoch's rink were selected to compete for Scotland at the 2017 World Curling Championship, where they secured qualification for Team GB to the 2018 Winter Olympics by finishing sixth: however in June 2017 it was announced that Kyle Smith's team had been chosen to compete at the 2018 Games over Team Murdoch and Team Brewster. On 13 July 2017 Murdoch announced his retirement from his playing career, and will begin coaching. Murdoch has commentated and taken part in studio analysis on curling for Eurosport for many years and Channel 4 for the 2014 Winter Paralympics. He has appeared recently on many TV &
