Murray joined Newcastle Falcons in the summer of 2023 from Edinburgh.

A prop who can play on both sides of the scrum, McCallum played more than 50 times for Edinburgh before joining Glasgow on a short-term deal in the summer of 2021.

Heading south to Worcester Warriors in January 2022, he was among the many left without a club following Worcester’s expulsion from the Premiership in the autumn of 2022.

Touring with the Barbarians, he then re-signed for Edinburgh for the back half of the 2022-23, during which time he scored a try away to Scarlets before making the move to Tyneside.

McCallum made his Scotland debut against Wales in 2018, and upon joining the Falcons had three test caps to his name.
