Club career

Early career

Starting his career in Halmstads BK youth team, he was raised up to the senior team in 2003 and debuted against GIF Sundsvall in the premier game of the season, coming on as a substitute.[2] Prior to the 2004 season, he had established himself as a player in the starting line-up and aided the club to become runner-up, two points behind Malmö FF.[3] Djurić continued on as a starting player during the poor season of 2005, as Halmstads BK qualified for the 2005–06 UEFA Cup group stage, in which Djurić became the only goalscorer for the club, against Sampdoria. During the following seasons he started mainly as a midfielder but gradually stept up to become a forward.

Zürich

Following the UEFA Cup in 2005, Djurić attracted the attention of bigger clubs in Europe, such as Sporting CP, Real Sociedad[4] and Anderlecht,[5] however, he signed a contract with Swiss club Zürich on 7 January 2008.[6]

Djurić gained somewhat instant glory at Zürich, following a goal against Milan on San Siro in the 2008–09 UEFA Cup first round,[7][8] however, Milan won both matches with 4–1 totally. Djurić helpt Zürich win the 2008–09 season and then scored twice during the qualification rounds to the 2009–10 UEFA Champions League. Djurić playing in Zürich didn't go unnoticed and it was soon speculation once again that he would move to various clubs, among them Fiorentina,[9] Montpellier and Valenciennes.[10]

Valenciennes

On 13 January 2012, Valenciennes confirmed that they had signed him on a three-and a half-year-contract.[11] After struggling with injuries, he joined Danish club Odense on loan for the 2013–14 season.[12]
