Career
The offensive player Thurk went from Hessian Oberliga club SV Jügesheim to 1. FSV Mainz 05 in 1999 on advice of Django Mann who already connected a transfer of Abderrahim Ouakili. Before the 2006-2007 season, he moved to Eintracht Frankfurt, a transfer that is much disputed among Eintracht supporters because Thurk was a long term player for local rivals Mainz and a cult figure at the 05ers.
In January 2008, he moved to Football Club Augsburg.
In the 2009-2010 season, Augsburg finished just short of promotion to the Bundesliga with Thurk being the league"s top goalscorer. He signed for 1. Football Club Heidenheim in January 2012.
He left Heidenheim at the end of the 2013-2014 season as his contract was not renewed.
