Career

[edit]

Montenegro

[edit]

He started in his hometown club Budućnost Podgorica. In 2014, he arrived in Zabjelo, where he stayed for one season, usually playing as a defensive midfielder. He then moved to Dečić which marked his return to the Montenegrin top tier.[2] In his debut season with the Tuzi-based club, he appeared in five matches.[2] Following a season with Dečić he returned to the country's second division to sign with his hometown club Kom where he stayed for four years.

In his debut season with Kom, he helped the club secure promotion to the first division by winning the league title.[3] The 2017–18 season marked his third stint in the top flight where he appeared in 27 matches and recorded 2 goals.[2] The club was relegated the following season but Đurković remained with the club and assisted in securing promotion back to the first division during the 2018–19 season.[4] In his final season with Kom, he made 24 appearances and registered 1 goal.[2]

In 2020, he signed with league rivals Jezero.[5] Đurković would make 31 appearances for the club in his debut season.[2] He re-signed with Jezero for the following season where he featured in 28 matches with 3 goals.[6]

Canada

[edit]

Đurković began to play abroad by joining the Serbian White Eagles in the Canadian Soccer League before the 2022 season.[1][7] He recorded his first goal for the Serbs in his debut match against FC Continentals on May 29, 2022.[8] Several weeks after he recorded a hattrick against BGHC FC on June 19, 2022.[9] He helped the western Toronto side secure the regular season title which automatically clinched a playoff berth for the club.[10][11] However, the Serbs were eliminated in the opening round of the playoffs by the Continentals.[12]

He re-signed with the Serbs for the 2023 season where he participated in the Royal CSL Cup final where Toronto Falcons defeated the White Eagles in a penalty shootout.[13] The Serbs would finish the 2023 campaign as runners-up to Scarborough SC in the regular season.[14]

The 2024 season marked his third year with the club and helped the Serbs win the Royal CSL Cup against Scarborough.[15]
