      Born in Mullingar, County Westmeath, Murtagh was educated at Mullingar Community College and later at Sligo Institute of Technology. He first played competitive hurling at juvenile and underage levels with Clonkill, before later joining the senior team.

As a Gaelic footballer, Murtagh won two senior county championship medals with the Downs club.
      Murtagh made his debut on the inter-county scene at the age of fifteen when he was selected for the Westmeath minor team. He enjoyed a successful tenure in this grade, culminating with the winning of an All-Ireland medal in 1999. Murtagh subsequently joined the Westmeath under-21 team, winning All-Ireland medals in 2000 and 2003. By this stage he had also joined the Westmeath senior team, making his debut during the 2001 championship. Over the course of the next seventeen seasons, Murtagh won three Christy Ring Cup medals. He also won a National League Division 2 medal in 2008. Murtagh played his last game for Westmeath in November 2020.
