Murray joined the Eagles from Brighton and Hove Albion in 2011 and became a fan favourite as his 30 goals led the club to Premier League promotion in 2013.

Despite scoring seven goals in just nine starts towards the back end of last season, Murray is not seen as an important part of Alan Pardew's plans at Selhurst Park this term.

The newly-promoted Cherries see the experienced Murray as an ideal addition to their squad - someone who can offer something a little different to the zip and relentless work rate of its forays forward so far this term.

The Cumbrian will hope to make his debut on September 12 against another newly-promoted side in Norwich City.
