AFC Hornchurch
After coming through their youth system, Hursit got his senior career underway with AFC Hornchurch of the Isthmian League - Division One North during 2014. His debut for the club arrived on 9 August as he was substituted on in place of Chris Bourne in a league defeat at East Thurrock United. His only other game of 2014–15 came almost two months later in a cup tie versus the same opponents at the same venue. He wouldn't feature again until 2016–17 in an Alan Turvey Trophy first round encounter as *The Urchins* defeated Haringey Borough 4–1, as he came off the bench to replace Abs Thompson on 13 September 2016. That substitution was repeated for his next three appearances, as he came on for Thompson in a draw with Phoenix Sports and in wins over Thamesmead Town and Norwich United.

Hursit then made his first start of 2016–17 on 22 October 2016 in a fixture with Great Wakering Rovers, as Hornchurch won 3–0 on home soil. By January 2017, the player had appeared 14 times for the club - though wouldn't play past 28 January. In 2017–18, Hursit regularly featured across 38 matches as the club built on a play-off place in the prior year with a 1st place finish and therefore promotion to the Isthmian League - Premier Division; securing 103 points in the process. His first appearance of the campaign came in a 12 August 2017 win over Soham Town Rangers, while his last match arrived on 24 April 2018 in a 1–1 road draw at Cheshunt. Hursit subsequently made his first appearance at tier seven on 11 August 2018, as he started a three-goal victory at home to Leatherhead.

In total in 2018–19, the player was selected in 22 matches across league and cup; with 8 of those arriving in the latter format. Midway through the campaign, on 29 January 2019, Hursit's departure from Hornchurch was announced.

Enfield Town
In late-2015, Hursit played one match for Isthmian League - Premier Division side Enfield Town - an Alan Turvey Trophy second round victory over Cheshunt on 6 October.

### HTU

2018–19
On the day of his release from AFC Hornchurch, Hursit temporarily signed with *The Tags* to help out following injuries and in order to gain match fitness. He linked up with brother Lee. Hursit's debut occurred on 29 January in a mid-season friendly at ex-club Hornchurch, as he came off the substitute's bench under manager Jay Devereux in an eventual 3–1 loss at the Hornchurch Stadium. He departed the Thurlow Nunn League - Division One South team soon after, though would return permanently at the start of the succeeding season following promotion.

2019–20
On 8 August 2019, Hursit was revealed as a permanent signing for HTU. His competitive bow for *The Tags* soon arrived on 17 August as he was chosen to start a two-goal victory at Redbridge in the Essex Senior League. He featured 8 times between then and early December, half as a starter and half as a substitute. On 7 December, Hursit scored his first HTU goal in a 3–0 win over Woodford Town in league action at the EMR Stadium. After which, the defender participated in 6 further matches before the season's curtailment due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Four games prior to the cancellation, Hursit had netted his second goal for the club in a Gordon Brasted Memorial Trophy quarter-final win over Hoddesdon Town.

2020–21
In 2020–21, Hursit featured twice across August and September, though would make three substitute appearances during the following October against St. Margaretsbury, Wormley Rovers and Woodford Town. He wouldn't appear again in that season, predominantly due to a second curtailment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

2021–22
During pre-season ahead of 2021–22, Hursit took part in 5 of the team's 10 exhibition fixtures - grabbing a goal and an assist in a 3–2 triumph of Coggeshall United on 5 July 2021. In the season's squad update video, it was revealed by manager Jay Devereux that Hursit was still attached to HTU but was some way short of full fitness and had work commitment issues having just changed professions. However, the defender did not play again and wasn't named in the subsequent season's squad update.
