Sean Murdoch (born 31 July 1986) is a Scottish professional football goalkeeper who is currently playing in his second spell for Dunfermline Athletic.
He has also played for Forfar Athletic, Hamilton Academical, Accrington Stanley, Hibernian and Rochester Rhinos.
Born in Edinburgh, Murdoch grew up in the Wester Hailes area of the city. He played for youth teams of Hearts, but he moved across the Firth of Forth to play for Dunfermline in 2003. Murdoch progressed through the Dunfermline youth and reserve teams, earning international recognition. He moved on loan for the 2005–06 season to Forfar Athletic in order to get some first team experience. Murdoch signed a new 3-year contract with Dunfermline in July 2006, but was expected to move out loan again. He returned to Forfar on loan during the first half of the 2006–07 season. In the second half of the 2006–07 season, he moved on loan to First Division team Hamilton Academical.
Murdoch made his first team debut for Dunfermline in a 2007–08 UEFA Cup tie against Swedish club BK Hacken. Murdoch was at fault for the goal scored by Hacken, but made some good saves later in the game. He was second choice behind Paul Gallacher for most of the 2007–08 season and left to join Hamilton for a nominal fee of £15,000.
