Club career

Early career

Because of the outbreak of the Bosnian War, Đurić's family fled from his native Bosnia and Herzegovina and moved to Italy, where he started playing football at local clubs, before joining Cesena's youth academy in 2006. He made his professional debut against Mantova on 30 October 2007 at the age of 17. On 8 December, he scored his first professional goal in a triumph over Frosinone.[2]

In July 2010, Đurić switched to Parma in a co-ownership deal.[3] In August, he was loaned to Ascoli for the rest of campaign.[4] In January 2011, he was sent on a six-month loan to Crotone. In June, his loan was extended for an additional season.[5]

In the summer of 2012, Đurić returned to Cesena, who immediately loaned him to Cremonese until the end of season.[6] In July 2013, he was sent on a season-long loan to Trapani.[7] In January 2014, he was loaned to Cittadella for the remainder of season.[8]

In January 2017, he was transferred to English side Bristol City.[9]

In March 2015, he received his first senior call-up, for a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifier against Andorra and a friendly game against Austria.[20] He debuted against the former on 28 March.[21]

On 10 October, in a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifier against Wales, Đurić scored his first senior international goal.[22] Three days later, he scored a goal against Cyprus, which secured the victory for his team and sent them into the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying play-offs.[23]

He retired from international football on 25 May 2022.[24]

Personal life

Đurić's father Goran was also a professional footballer, as is his younger brother Marco.[25]
