Club career
After turning 15, Hurtig, who is from Avesta, played the 2011 season in Norrettan with Gustafs GoIF.[3] She scored 14 goals and made four assists in 20 games.[4] At the end of that campaign she was approached by Damallsvenskan clubs LdB FC Malmö and Umeå IK. She joined the latter after a short training spell.[5]
Upon Umeå's relegation following the 2016 season, Hurtig transferred to league champions Linköpings FC on a two-year contract.[6]
International career
As a Swedish under-19 international, Hurtig was featured at the 2012 U-19 European Championship. She started the victorious Swedish team's 1–0 extra time win over Spain in the final.
In December 2012, national team coach Pia Sundhage called up Hurtig to a senior squad training camp at Bosön.[7] Hurtig was also named in the senior squad for a 1–1 friendly draw with Brazil on 19 June 2013.[8] She was hopeful of making the hosts' final squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2013, but was not selected.
After leaving Hurtig out of the final pre-tournament friendly against Norway in May 2013, Sundhage described her as a potentially world class player.[9]
Hurtig won her first senior cap as a substitute in a 1–1 draw with Canada in November 2014.[10]
Hurtig was selected in the Sweden squad that travelled to France for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup. She scored her first goal the tournament in a 5-1 win against Thailand.[11]
