Ashley Dunn has taken an extended UK holiday, with his playing future unclear at the Border NPL 3 outfit.
Dunn joined Murray midway through its debut season in 2015 and quickly established himself as one of the league's best midfielders.
The classy Englishman claimed the club's best and fairest award in 2017 and 2018 and finished top-10 in the league's voting the past two seasons.

''I am leaving for an extended holiday, not sure exactly when we will be back, especially with another girl on the way," Dunn said.
"I have enjoyed the last five years, it's been a really exciting challenge playing for a newly-formed club.
"The club has some great people and with Darren Yates leading the club, they are in great hands."
Dunn said the 2017 season under James Coutts was the highlight.
"We have had some great memories, the third year we went through a spell of 10 to 12 games where we were playing the best football in the league and only lost a couple of games during that period," he said.
"We just missed out on the top three by a point.
"Over the last few years, doing the double over GV (Goulburn Valley) Suns and Zac Walker's last-minute winner against Nunawading to secure our position in NPL for year four were standouts."
"I'm not sure what the future holds, but I wish everyone all the best."
