Waylon Murray (born 25 April 1986 in Durban, South Africa) is a current player in a provincial rugby union team, the Sharks. He stands 190cm tall and weighs in at 105kg and plays the position of centre.
During his debut season in the 2006 Currie Cup and Super 14 season for the Natal Sharks and Sharks, Murray showed great promise as a quality centre for his provincial team. Parlaying those performances into his debut Super 14 season (2007), Murray has slowly risen to prominence as one of South Africa's leading centres, owing in no small part to his tenacity on defence and astute ball distribution skills, often, with provincial team-mate Bradley Barritt, providing a valuable link to the wings and offering stability to The Sharks midfield.
On the strength of Murray's performances in the 2007 Super 14, rugby pundits believe that he has a chance to unseat the incumbent centre for the national team.
Murray went to Westville Boys High School where he was a prefect and head of school in 2003 and played in the 1st XV in 2003.
Waylon Murray is represented by Baron Phillips of Infinity Athlete Management[1]and his legal counsel is Marco Voller of Marco Voller Attorneys, and has an educational sponsor from Boston Business College and[] Reebok as a technical sponsor.
