At the age of 14, Zsombor-Murray made his World Championships debut in 2017, where he finished in fifth place in the mixed 10 m synchro event with Meaghan Benfeito.[2] At the 2019 edition of the event, along with his partner Vincent Riendeau finished in 11th place in the men's 10 m synchro event.[3] Under a month later, the pair won silver in the same event at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru.[4] In the individual event, Zsombor-Murray finished in sixth.

In July 2021, Zsombor-Murray won the individual 10 m platform competition at the Canadian trials with two perfect dives. This qualified him to also compete in the individual event in Tokyo.[7][8]

At the Olympics he finished fifth in the synchronized 10 metre platform event with partner Riendeau but he narrowly missed the final of the 10 metre platform competition, finishing in 13th.[9]
