Career

Carlisle United and Rochdale AFC

After his first positions at AFC Workington, Wilmington Hammerheads and AFC Barrow , the 21-year-old Glenn Murray moved to the fifth division Carlisle United in December 2004 and, after a success in the play-off final of the 2004/05 season (1-0 against the Stevenage FC) promotion to the fourth division. The season in Football League Two 2005/06 ended the promoted team with Glenn Murray (26 league games / 3 goals) as champions and thus secured direct promotion to the third division. During the 2006/07 season he played on loan for the fourth division clubs Stockport County and Rochdale AFC , before moving to Rochdale on January 4, 2007 on a permanent contract basis . In total, Murray scored sixteen league goals for Rochdale AFC in 2006/07.

Brighton & Hove Albion

After two and a half seasons in the middle of the table in Football League One , the club won the third division championship in the 2010/11 season . Glenn Murray scored 22 goals, finishing second on the top scorer list behind Peterborough United's Craig Mackail-Smith (27 goals) .

Crystal Palace

Murray decided after the end of the season against a contract extension in Brighton and moved to the second division Crystal Palace free of charge . After an average Football League Championship 2011/12 both for him (38 league games / 6 goals) and for the club , the 2012/13 season is much more successful.
