The player travelled to the Far East on Wednesday
to meet his new team mates and put pen to paper.
Murray the former paradise striker scored Grenada's first goal in the
Gold Cup last summer and is highly rated as one of the bright crop of
youngsters coming through in the Spice Isle.
He becomes the second Grenadian to play in the
Far East following Otis Roberts who had a stint in Hong Kong in the mid-90s.
Murray said of the move "I would like to thank the people who
have supported me in my career so far, and to Otis and Jason Roberts for
helping me to secure this opportunity here, and to the GFA for supporting me
and helping me showcase my skills on a national level,” Murray said.
“I will give my all and aim to make Grenada proud
and I hope other players may have the opportunity to follow in my
footsteps".
Murray also thanked former Muangthong United footballer Zesh Rehman
for his support and the club for giving him the chance to shine in Asia.
The 21 year-old striker was the first player to score for Grenada in a
CONCACAF Gold Cup when he opening the scoring against Honduras at the FIU
Stadium in Miami in its penultimate game of the 2011 edition. However, his goal
was in vain as Honduras defeated the Spice Boyz 7-1.
