Borussia Mönchengladbach

Kurt was born in Mönchengladbach to a Turkish father and a German mother. He joined the youth setup at Borussia Mönchengladbach in 2007, progressing through the youth ranks until his promotion to Borussia Mönchengladbach II in 2014. ^[6] In the years prior to his promotion, Kurt played for the Borussia B-Jugend, U-17 team, registering 31 goals and 21 assists in 52 games. ^[2] Because of his good performances for the U-17 side, Kurt signed a developmental contract with Gladbach, intended to tie him to the club until 2016 at which point a professional contract would come into effect. ^[2] For the 2013–14 season, Kurt played in Gladbach's U-19 team, where he scored 16 goals in 24 appearances. ^[6] This led to his promotion to the second team and he made his professional debut against Viktoria Köln on 2 August 2014, replacing Marlon Ritter for the last 15 minutes of the 2–1 Regionalliga West match. ^{[6] [7]}

In late August 2014, it was reported that Bayern Munich were interested in signing the player and that Kurt wanted to make the move to Bayern. ^[2] Gladbach officials refused to allow the player to leave before his contract expired in 2016. ^[2] However the DFL ruled that since the contract was signed when Kurt was underage, 16, that it was not legally accepted and that Bayern were allowed to purchase the player. ^[2]

Bayern Munich

On 31 August 2014, Bayern Munich confirmed that they had signed Kurt to a four-year contract. ^[8] Kurt made his Bayern debut for the reserve team against SV Schalding-Heining ^[9] on 17 October 2014. ^[10] He made his debut for the first team in a 1–0 home win against Hertha BSC. ^[11]

In the first 21 matchdays for the reserve team during the 2015–16 season, he started in only ten matches. ^[12] He also came on in another five substitute appearances during that time span. ^[13]

Hertha BSC

Kurt signed a contract with Hertha BSC until 30 June 2019 in January 2016. ^{[14] [15]} He failed to establish himself as a contender for the starting eleven throughout his time at the club, with coach Pál Dárdai publicly criticizing his performance. ^[16] Having appeared in only two Bundesliga games for Hertha, Kurt was temporarily excluded from team training in early 2018, a measure imposed as part of an attempt to have him catch up on his physical deficits through individual training. ^[17] He was permanently demoted to reserve team Hertha BSC II in July 2018. ^[18] He left the club six months before the end of his contract. ^[19]

WSG Wattens

In January 2019, Kurt moved to WSG Wattens, an Austrian club playing in the second division. ^[19] He appeared in 13 games during the remainder of the 2018–19 season and scored one goal. Wattens, who ultimately won promotion to the Austrian Football Bundesliga, did not extend his contract. ^[20]
