Canberra United have re-signed emerging midfielder Holly Murray ahead of the 2024-25 Liberty A-League season.
The 20-year-old is set for her third season in green and with 27 league appearances to her name, is poised to be an important contributor to head coach Antoni Jagarinec’s squad in his first season at the helm.

Jagarinec says Murray’s mixture of youth and experience is a key reason for his excitement pondering what his latest re-signing can produce in Canberra through the 2024-25 campaign.
“I’m absolutely delighted to have Holly back in the squad for another season,” Canberra United head coach Jagarinec said.
“She is a quality addition to our squad, with her innate game sense a massive bonus for how we want to play.
“She is still a young player, but already has plenty of experience under her belt in the A-League, so will add plenty of leadership into the middle of the park. She fits in well to the group and the culture of the club.”
Murray is the fifth player to re-sign with Canberra this off-season, alongside Ruby Nathan, Hayley Taylor-Young, Sofia Christopherson and club legend Michelle Heyman, who was confirmed as a United squad member this week after coming close to joining English club West Ham.
Murray, who spent the off-season playing with Box Hill in NPLW Victoria, says recommitting to Canberra was her dream scenario leading into the new Liberty A-League season.
“I am incredibly proud and excited to have signed on with Canberra United again for the new season,” said Murray. “I have absolutely loved being here the last two seasons and can’t wait to be back out in front of our amazing fans at McKellar Park.
“It really is a dream come true for me to be part of the A-League and I felt my game was improving with each match last season. I am excited about the future and continuing my football development with this great club.”
