Born in Panama City, Murillo graduated from San Francisco's youth setup, and made his senior debut in the 2014–15 campaign, aged only 18. He quickly established himself as a first team regular and had his best season in 2015–16 in which he made 21 league appearances and scored 3 goals. On 25 October 2015, Murillo scored his first two goals for Los Monjes in a 2–1 victory over Alianza.[3]

On 10 December 2015, Murillo played the entire match for San Francisco in the first edition of the Copa Panamá, as his side won the final against Chepo 5–4 on penalties, as the match finished 0–0 after extra time, to win their first title.[4] On 26 August 2015, Murillo helped San Francisco to a famous 2–1 victory over Mexican side Querétaro FC in a 2015–16 CONCACAF Champions League match.[5]

United, in the last match played at RFK Stadium.[8] The Red Bulls exercised their contract option to permanently sign him on 11 November 2017.[9]

On 13 March 2018, Murillo assisted on two goals in New York's 3–1 victory over Club Tijuana in the CONCACAF Champions League, helping the club advance to semifinals of the Champions League for the first time.[10] On 14 April 2018, he scored his first goal of the season for New York in a 3–1 victory over Montreal Impact.[11] He was also selected to participate for the New York Red Bulls in the MLS All-Star Game against Italy's Juventus on 1 August 2018 in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, US, making him the first Panamanian to participate in an MLS All-Star game.[12]

During his time with the Red Bulls, Murillo totalled 80 appearances in all competitions, scoring four goals and providing eight assists.[13]
