Peter Edward Murchie (born 7 January 1986 in Carlisle, England) is an English-born Scottish Rugby Union player. His regular playing position is full-back. He plays for Glasgow Warriors in the Guinness Pro 12.[1]
He started his career at North Dorset where he came through their mini and youth sides before leaving to join Bath Rugby. He moved to Waterloo then Birmingham & Solihull R.F.C. and then London Welsh RFC. On moving to Scotland he has played for Dundee HSFP, Stirling County RFC and Aberdeen GSFP RFC as well as Glasgow Warriors.[2]
Murchie's father is from Ayr and used to play rugby for Ardrossan Academicals. Despite having caps for England Under 18 both Murchie and his father were keen on a career in Scotland: "“[My father has] always been keen to get me back north of the border so this move realises an ambition for the two of us.”[3]
He represented Scotland A during their unbeaten 2010–11 and 2011–12 campaigns.[4]
On 24 October 2012 he was named in the full Scottish national team for the 2012 end-of-year rugby union tests.[5]
On 21 August 2015 it was announced at a Glasgow Warriors Open Day training session that Murchie would take over the captaincy of the club.[6][7]
