Former Wimbledon winner Murray added: "Football is a huge passion of mine and I’m looking forward to working with both Jack and Miller. They are both talented, work hard and have bright futures in the game. We are looking forward to helping them develop and maximise their potential."
And young Arabs winger Thomson, 17, commented: "The focus for me is on my development as a player and fulfilling my potential over the next few years. I’m excited to be joining the team at 77 Sports Management."
Murray acts as a mentor to all the athletes at 77SM, offering guidance and advice to upcoming talent.
