Career
A South Fremantle recruit, Jurica was just 17 when he was signed by Richmond. He came into the Richmond team halfway through the 1995 American Federation of Labor-Congress season to replace injured key forward Matthew Richardson and performed credibly. He ended the season playing in a qualifying final and finished with 21 goals for the year.
Despite some impressive performances in his debut season, Jurica was delisted after adding just five further games in 1996 and 1997.
