Joelle Murray (born November 7, 1986 in Chirnside , Scotland ) is a Scottish national soccer player . The defender has been under contract with the Scottish club Hibernian Edinburgh since 2000 and played for the Scottish national team for the first time in 2007 .

Career

societies

Murray began playing soccer in her hometown of Chirnside and played in mixed teams with boys and girls until he was 12, first with the Coldstream Boys Club and then with the Chirnside boys club. Since it is no longer allowed for girls to play with boys in Scotland from the age of 12, she moved to Hibernian Edinburgh in 1998 , where she went through the various U-teams and was captain of the U-17 team. She then played in the first team of the Hibs , with which she won her first title in 2011 with the League Cup. More titles followed in the cup and again in the league cup, a championship she has not yet won with the Hibs . So far it has only been enough to five runner-up championships. In 2015, they benefited from the fact that the Scottish runner-up was also admitted to the 2016/17 UEFA Women's Champions League for the first time and qualified directly for the round of 32. Here she was used in both games against the German champions FC Bayern Munich , but lost both games (0: 6 and 1: 4). As Scottish champions Glasgow City FC were also eliminated in the round of 32, the Scottish runner-up in the 2017/18 UEFA Women's Champions League had to qualify. The "Hibs" could not prevail as runner-up in 2016 at a tournament in Romania against the hosts of the CFF Olimpia Cluj and were eliminated as the second-worst group runner-up. Murray was used in the three games and did not miss a minute.

National team

Murray played for the Scottish U-19 team in qualifying for the U-19 European Women's Football Championship in 2005 , which the Scottish women reached for the first time. There they were eliminated after three defeats with the negative record of 2:11 goals, which was only "surpassed" three years later by their own U-19 team with 2:12 goals.

For her first appearance in the senior national team, she came on August 26, 2007 in the 3-2 win against Belgium , where she came on three minutes before the end of the game. A month later she was substituted on in the 4-1 draw against Finland five minutes before the end of the game. On March 5, 2008, she came in the Cyprus Cup 2008 at 1: 2 in the game against the U-20 team of the USA in the 62nd minute into the game. She was only substituted on in the next few games and only came to one more game in 2008. She had her first starting eleven on May 12, 2009 in a 3-1 win against Northern Ireland , scoring her only international goal to date to make it 3-1 in the 83rd minute and was substituted two minutes later. But even after that she only remained a supplementary player. In 2010 it was used in nine of 14 games, then in none in 2011 and only in one game in 2012. In 2013 there were eleven appearances in the 18 international matches of the year, in 2014 only four and in 2015 only one. In 2016 she was used in the first two games of the year, but only again in the penultimate game of the year, the last and decisive game in qualifying for the 2017 European Championship , in which the Scottish women were able to qualify for a European Championship finals for the first time. Murray was in the starting line-up and played over 90 minutes.

At the Cyprus Cup 2017 , she played three of the four games and was fifth with the Scottish women. She was then also still used in the three friendlies before the European Championships and the European Championships nominated , but there is not used.

In the first game after the European Championship under the new national coach Shelley Kerr , she was substituted in in the second half, but only again in 2019 in two international matches during the January training camp in Spain . After another appearance at the Algarve Cup 2019 in the game for 5th place, she was nominated on May 15 for the 2019 World Cup, for which the Scottish women qualified for the first time. But it was not used at the World Cup.
