Glenn Murray (born 25 September 1983 in Maryport) is an English football player who plays as a striker for League One side Brighton.

[edit] Biography

A player who played for non league side Workington Reds before joining American side Wilmington Hammerheads. After his time in America he joined Barrow where he scored 9 goals in 9 games before joining the then Conference side Carlisle United and was part of the Conference play off winning team and League Two winning side.

Murray joined Stockport on loan for 2 months and he returned to Carlisle after this loan deal, following team-mate Karl Hawley's rib injury. Rochdale manager Steve Parkin then signed Murray on loan until January 2007. Murray then signed for Rochdale on a contract until 2009, for an undisclosed fee.

Murray had been linked with a transfer to League One team Brighton & Hove Albion through-out the January transfer-window, and finally completed his move to the Withdean on the 25 January 2008 for a reported £300,000.^[1]

Murray made his Brighton debut coming on as a substitute during the 1-0 defeat at Northampton. Glenn then started Albion's next match, at home to Crewe and scored two goals on his home debut in the 3-0 victory.^[2]
