Cameron Murray (born 16 January 1998)[1] is an Australian professional rugby league footballer who plays as a lock for the South Sydney Rabbitohs in the National Rugby League.

Background

Murray was born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.

He played his junior rugby league for the Mascot Jets, before being signed by the South Sydney Rabbitohs. He attended Newington College completing his HSC in 2015 and was captain of Newington's GPS Championship Winning First XV Rugby team that same year.[2]

Playing career

Early career

In October 2015, Murray re-signed with the Rabbitohs on a 4-year contract until the end of 2019.[3] Late in 2015, he played for the Australian Schoolboys.[4] In 2016, he played for the South Sydney Rabbitohs' NYC team.[5] He also featured for the Rabbitohs' Intrust Super Premiership NSW team, North Sydney Bears in 2016, playing a total of 6 games and scoring 1 try.

2017

Murray started off 2017 by playing in the Intrust Super Premiership NSW for North Sydney. In round 8 of the 2017 NRL season, he made his NRL debut for the Rabbitohs against the Brisbane Broncos.[6][7]

2018

Murray was part of the Souths side which finished 3rd on the table at the end of the regular season in 2018. In week one of the finals against Melbourne, Murray scored what Souths thought was going to be the winning try before a late try and field goal to Melbourne handed Souths a 29-28 loss. Murray then featured in both of Souths other finals matches, the 13-12 victory over St George and then a 12-4 defeat to arch rivals Eastern Suburbs in the preliminary final.[8][9][10]
