He began in 2011 to play in the senior division, beginning with the Bradenton Academics where he made 14 appearances, scoring 2 goals.

Thuriere was quickly traded to the VSI Tampa Flames in 2012, where his stats show 15 appearances and 2 goals scored . In 2013 he began playing for VSI Tampa Bay for with 21 appearances and 1 goal. Currently with the USL Pro Dayton Dutch Lions he has made 7 appearances and scored no goals yet.

Thuriere has been a valued player on the soccer field, and at a strapping 6 ft. 1 inch, playing the midfielder position, the University of South Florida graduate, has shown steadiness and reliability in his playing. This encouraged the Haitian National Team (HNT) officials to invite him to a 10-day camp, where he will play for the HNT in an exhibition game against Chile.

Asked how he feels about being called to play with HNT, he is sincere, remarking, it ". . . is a lifelong dream and opportunity that I have always wanted . . . . just to be able to . . . possibly represent Haiti . . . I am looking forward to this experience . . ."
