Murray played a key role for Edinburgh City as the Citizens earned promotion to League One via the play-offs, scoring eight goals and registering seven assists including a strike in each leg of the final against Annan Athletic.
The Capital club has also ‘placed on record its gratitude’ to loan trio Rocky Bushiri, Sylvester Jasper, and James Scott who arrived from Norwich City, Fulham, and Hull City respectively.
The Evening News revealed last week that Hibs have already indicated they will not be taking up an option to make Jasper’s move permanent, while Scott has been linked with Accrington Stanley, Derby, Portsmouth, Sunderland and a return to Easter Road, with Hull boss Shota Arveladze set to run the rule over the 21-year-old before making a call on his future.
