Career

Đurić has played with Serbian clubs BPI Pekar and Beograd in his early career.[1] During the winter break of the 2008–09 season he moved to Macedonian First League side Metalurg Skopje.

Being the main playmaker in Metalurg, he has been voted by the Football Federation of Macedonia the best foreign player in the Macedonian First League for the year 2010.[2] In season 2010-2011 Metalurg won Macedonian Cup, finished runners-up in the league, and played qualifications for UEFA Europa League.

In summer 2011 he moved to Poland and started playing for Sandecja Nowy Sącz, but at the beginning of season's second half, he changed club and became a member of Radnik Bijeljina. Few months later Radnik won the First League of the Republika Srpska and Milan Djurić was named the best player.

In summer 2012 he returned to Serbia, this time by joining top-league side Jagodina. He helped Jagodina win the 2012–13 Serbian Cup by scoring the only goal in the Final against Vojvodina.

After three years in Jagodina, he moved abroad again in the summer of 2015, joining the Croatian side Istra 1961.

On 25 June 2016, Đurić signed a two-year contract with Zira.[3]

On 16 June 2018, Đurić returned to Serbia, signing with Vojvodina.[4]

On 8 August 2019, Đurić was announced as a new signing of A-League team Central Coast Mariners.[5]
