Murrell also had multiple other opportunities in England his agency confirmed, but will instead report this week to Real Salt Lake's preseason camp that takes place in Phoenix, Arizona.
Murrell was in TFC's Academy program and captained the squad in 2011. He also has played for Canada's U-18 team alongside Toronto FC's first round draft choice and his college teammate, Skylar Thomas. He did not participate for the Academy for the allotted time for Toronto FC to have homegrown rights on him

The 20 assists he registered is a record for a defender at Syracuse. He was also named to the NSCAA All-South regional team this past season. Unfortunately, he was not invited to the 2015 adidas MLS Combine, which took place from January 8-13.
