Club career

Flamurtari Vlorë

On 15 June 2017, Nurković joined Albanian Superliga side Flamurtari Vlorë, to replace the departed Stivi Frashëri as the second choice.[1] On 9 September 2017, he made his debut in a 2–0 away defeat against Skënderbeu Korçë after being named in the starting line-up.[2]

Tuzla City

On 7 June 2018, Nurković joined with the newly promoted team of Bosnian Premier League side Tuzla City.[3] On 24 November 2018, he made his debut in a 1–2 home defeat against Zrinjski Mostar after being named in the starting line-up. After a year with Tuzla City, it was confirmed that Nurković had left the club.[4]

Return to Čelik Zenica

On 18 June 2019, Nurković returned to Bosnian side Čelik Zenica, on a three-year contract.[5]

International career

Bosnia and Herzegovina

Under-21

On 6 September 2008, Nurković made his debut with Bosnia and Herzegovina U21 in a 2009 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification match against Romania U21 after being named in the starting line-up.[6]

Senior

On 12 August 2009, Nurković made his debut with Bosnia and Herzegovina in a friendly match against Iran after coming on as a substitute at 62nd minute in place of Nemanja Supić.[7]

Kosovo

Nurković was invited by the coach Albert Bunjaki to play for Kosovo national team based on Bunjaki's satisfactory impression of Nurković at Travnik. As he is married to a Kosovan citizen, he is eligible for Kosovo citizenship and FIFA's rules allow Nurković to play for any national side resulting from the break-up of SFR Yugoslavia as he was born during the country's existence.[8]

On 2 October 2016, Nurković received a call-up from Kosovo for a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification matches against Croatia and Ukraine.[9] On 5 October 2016, FIFA gives permission he to play for Kosovo.[10] On 11 June 2017, Nurković made his debut with Kosovo in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification against Turkey after coming on as a substitute at 53rd minute in place of injured Samir Ujkani.[11][12]

Coaching career

On 16 July 2020, three days after Bosnian club Čelik Zenica was excluded to the League of Zenica-Doboj Canton because of financial difficulties, it was announced that Nurković was to stay in the club both as a player and goalkeeping coach.[13]

gollark: I suppose they also have more mathy software - my calculator can do stuff like automatic equation solving and whatnot which I can't easily do on my computer - but I'm sure there's something for that.
gollark: I'm aware. But it's kind of weird that they cost so much still.
gollark: It can plot graphs nicely using several different web applications.
gollark: Graphing ones cost something like £100. My *phone*, which has a very fast (comparatively...) processor, 32GB of storage, a 5" touchscreen and wireless networking, cost less than that.
gollark: Calculators seem weirdly expensive for what you get. Fancier ones anyway.
