He played for the Surrey county team from 2000–06, then moved to Middlesex, where he remains as of 2015. He first played for Ireland in 2012. Although first and foremost a seam bowler, Murtagh has progressed with his batting, and stepped in on many occasions to rescue Surrey when most needed.

Murtagh took figures of 6/24 against Middlesex in the 2005 Twenty20 Cup which at the time that was his best bowling figures in the short form games.
Murtagh played in just two of Surrey's County Championship matches in the 2006 season. As a result, he searched for opportunities with other clubs.
