He went on to play for Saracens and Edinburgh before joining French team United States Montauban following the 2007 Rugby World Cup. In July 2010 he joined Castres after Montauban were liquidated due to financial problems.
He left Castres in June 2012 to join newly promoted Mont-de-Marsan based side Stade Montois.
In December, with two years still left on his playing contract, he was appointed as forwards coach following a reshuffle at the club that saw previous coach Marc Dantin moved to other duties. Murray started all three Autumn Tests in November 2005 and became Scotland"s most capped player of all time, when on 10 March 2007, he collected his 83rd Test cap, surpassing Gregor Townsend"s previous record of 82 caps.
Murray failed to make the initial 2008 Six Nations Championship squad, though he was later added but did not feature in any games. During the Six Nations Scotland v Wales game at the Millennium Stadium on 12 February 2006 Murray was sent off by referee Steve Walsh after he perceived that Murray retaliatied by lashing out with his boot following a late tackle by Ian Gough.
