Antonio Murray (born September 15, 1984 in Cambridge, England) is a semi-professional football player who is currently playing for Histon. He normally plays as an attacking midfielder, but at Histon has played in a more attacking role. He formerly played professionally for Ipswich Town and in Scotland for Hibernian.

As a youngster he played for the Chelsea youth team while studying at school before moving to Ipswich Town as a trainee. His league debut for Ipswich came on 4 May 2003 when he was a late substitute for Tommy Miller in Ipswich's 4-1 away to Derby County. He signed a new two-year deal with Ipswich in July 2003.[1]

He left Ipswich to join Hibernian on a free transfer in January 2005 to replace the departing Craig Rocastle.[2] He was initially on a six-month contract, but in March 2005 signed a new two and a half year deal with Hibs.[3] His spell with Hibs was disrupted by injury,[4] and he made only 13 appearances before being released at the end of the 2005-06 season.

In July 2006 he was on trial with Wycombe Wanderers.[5] In August 2006 he signed for Conference South side Histon.[6] He had trouble breaking into the first team at Histon in the opening months of the 2006/07 season, but later went on a scoring spree of scoring 7 goals in 9 games to help Histon to the top of the league, and into Steve Fallon's starting eleven. Histon were promoted to the Conference National at the end of that season for the first time in their history.

Despite being born in England, he is eligible to play for Scotland through his Scottish father, Jamie, who played professionally for Cambridge United, Sunderland and Brentford. His mother, Emma, is Italian.[7]
