Murray is in his second full season with the <strong>Connacht</strong><br />

senior squad following a breakthrough year as an<br />

Academy player in 2019/20. The 22-year-old lock has<br />

already made eight appearances for <strong>Connacht</strong> this<br />

season, including the October victory over <strong>Ulster</strong> at<br />

Aviva Stadium where he played the full 80 minutes and<br />
