Muirhead was born and raised in Brisbane, where he attended Brisbane State High School, playing for their first XV rugby team, he was unable to win selection for the Australian Schoolboys, and following school he signed with Souths to play in the Brisbane Premier Rugby competition. After being unable to make further representative teams, Muirhead (with the assistance of a friend who whom knows Tana Umaga) moved to New Zealand to play ITM cup under Tana Umaga with Counties Manukau. Muirhead moved back to Australia in 2015, helping Souths win the Premier Rugby title that year, and winning further honours to play with Brisbane City in the NRC rugby competition. Sensing that there were no opportunities with the Reds, Muirhead moved to Canberra and managed to secure a contract with the Brumbies in the Super Rugby competition, where he remains today. [2]
Muirhead is part indigenous Australian, through his mother [3]
