Hurley had just turned 17 when he made his senior team debut with Castlehaven in 2009. He has his first major success a year later when Castlehaven beat Ballincollig to win the Cork U21AFC title.

At inter-county level, Hurley first played for Cork during a two-year tenure with the minor team. His final game in the grade was an All-Ireland final defeat by Tyrone in 2010. Hurley's three-year tenure with the under-21 team yielded three successive Munster U21FC medals, however, his last game was, once again, an All-Ireland final defeat.
Hurley made his senior team debut in 2013, having joined the extended panel a year earlier. Since then he has been an eight-time Munster SFC runners-up. Hurley was also a member of Munster's Railway Cup panel in 2014, while he has also been an All-Star nominee.
