Early career

A right-footed midfielder, Kurtić joined the 1. SNL club Gorica in August 2010 from the 2. SNL club Bela Krajina.[3]

His stint at Gorica lasted only six months, as he was noted by scouts of Serie A club Palermo; on 18 December 2010 it was announced Kurtić had agreed a four-and-a-half-year contract with the Sicilians, effective from January 2011, thus making him the fourth Slovenian to join the club during the 2010–11 season.[4]

On 12 January 2011, Kurtić made his Palermo debut in the Coppa Italia round of 16 game against Chievo; the match ended in a 1–0 win for Palermo.[5][6] On 13 February 2011, Kurtić made his debut in Serie A, playing the whole 90 minutes against Fiorentina. On 10 April 2011, Kurtić scored his first goal in Serie A for Palermo against Cesena.[7]

On 1 August 2011, he moved on loan to Varese in Serie B, with an option for his new club to acquire 50% of his transfer rights by the end of the season.[8] He debuted for the team in Serie B on 27 August against Bari. For the 2012–13 season he returned to Palermo.
