Club career

Hertha BSC

A striker, Djuricin began his career with SV Donau in 1999, before have alternate spells with Rapid Wien and Austria Wien.[1] After a short spell with FC Stadlau in 2008, he moved to Germany to enter the youth academy at Bundesliga side Hertha BSC.[1] During the 2009–10 season, Hertha's U19 team reached the final of the DFB Youth Cup, but despite Djuricin's equaliser, Hertha lost the match 2–1 to 1899 Hoffenheim.[3] During the 2010–11 pre-season, Djuricin was called up to the first team's training camp in his native Austria.[4] Coach Markus Babbel was impressed by his performance during the camp and called in him up for Hertha's remaining pre-season friendlies.[4]

Breakthrough

Djuricin made his debut for Hertha's reserve team in a 2–2 Regionalliga Nord draw with Hallescher FC on 6 August 2010.[5] Following injuries to Patrick Ebert, Raffael and Daniel Beichler, Djuricin received his maiden first team call up on the opening day of the 2010–11 2. Bundesliga season versus Rot-Weiß Oberhausen.[6] He made his debut after just 18 minutes as a substitute for Rob Friend.[6] Djuricin had a dream debut, scoring two second-half goals to help Hertha to a 3–2 win.[6] He signed a new four-year contract shortly after the match.[7] Djuricin went on to make 9 appearances during a successful 2010–11 season for Hertha, which saw the club promoted back to the Bundesliga at the first time of asking.[8]

Djuricin spent the majority of the 2011–12 Bundesliga season with the reserves, scoring 9 goals in 16 appearances.[8] He made two first team substitute appearances in early 2012 and was on the bench for both of Hertha's relegation playoff matches, which were lost to Fortuna Düsseldorf and consigned the club to relegation straight back to the 2. Bundesliga.[8] In the summer of 2012, new Hertha manager Jos Luhukay announced that Djuricin was not in his first team plans.[9] He spent the entire 2012–13 season away on loan and departed Hertha in June 2013.[10] He made just 11 appearances and scored two goals in three seasons as a first team player at the Olympiastadion.[8]

Jahn Regensburg (loan)

On 9 August 2012, Djuricin joined 2. Bundesliga side Jahn Regensburg on loan for the duration of the 2012–13 season.[11] He missed two months of the campaign with a broken sesamoid in his foot and made 17 appearances and scored three goals in a dire season for the Jahn,[12][13] with a bottom-place finish consigning the club to relegation to the 3. Liga.[8]

Sturm Graz

Djuricin returned to Austria to sign with Austrian Bundesliga side Sturm Graz in June 2013.[10] He made his debut in a 0–0 Europa League second qualifying round draw with Breiðablik on 18 July 2013, the first European appearance of his career.[8] After just two further appearances, a cruciate ligament injury saw Djuricin fail to return to the team until December.[13] He finished the 2013–14 season with 23 appearances and seven goals.[8] Djuricin showed good goalscoring form in the first half of the 2014–15 season,[8] netting 17 goals in 21 games before departing the UPC-Arena on 8 January 2015.[14] He made 44 appearances and scored 24 goals during 18 months with Graz.[8]

Red Bull Salzburg

On 8 January 2015, Djuricin signed for high-flying Austrian Bundesliga side Red Bull Salzburg on a three-a-half-year deal.[14] He found the net just three times in 16 appearances in the second half of the 2014–15 season, but received the first silverware of his career when Salzburg won the league title at the end of the campaign.[8] He collected another medal by virtue of being an unused substitute in Salzburg's 2–0 victory over Austria Wien in the 2015 ÖFB Cup Final.[15] After four appearances early in the 2015–16 season,[8] Djuricin departed on loan for the rest of the campaign.[16]

Brentford
