Club career

After turning 15, Hurtig, who is from Avesta, played the 2011 season in Norrettan with Gustafs GoIF. She scored 14 goals and made four assists in 20 games. At the end of that campaign she was approached by Damallsvenskan clubs LdB FC Malmö and Umeå IK. She joined the latter after a short training spell.

In December 2012, national team coach Pia Sundhage called up Hurtig to a senior squad training camp at Bosön. Hurtig was also named in the senior squad for a 1–1 friendly draw with Brazil on 19 June 2013. She was hopeful of making the hosts' final squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2013, but was not selected.
After leaving Hurtig out of the final pre-tournament friendly against Norway in May 2013, Sundhage described her as a potentially world class player.
