NRL career

Hurst debuted for the Gold Coast Chargers in 1994, becoming the leading points-scorer in the clubs' 11-year tenure in the NSWRL/ARL.[1] Hurst moved to the Sydney Roosters prior to the 1998 NRL season, one year before the Chargers folded,[2] where he played 21 games before retiring in 2000.[1]

Post-NRL career

After his retirement, Hurst worked as the sponsorship manager for the Roosters,[3] before being hired as an assistant coach at the South Sydney Rabbitohs in 2002.[4] In December 2004, Hurst became the CEO of the Ipswich Jets.[4] Hurst's appointment was the subject of some controversy, as former Redcliffe Dolphins lower grade coach Rob Campbell claimed he had been offered the job by Ipswich previously.[3] Hurst retired from his position as CEO on the 29th of January 2007, due to a desire to travel.[5] As CEO, Hurst was noted for his good relationship with the Ipswich Junior Rugby League.[5]
