The Second World War, which took the best years of his footballing career, saw him serve in the British Army and he was one of the many soldiers rescued during the Dunkirk Evacuation in 1940.[4] After the war had finished he returned to play for Oldham and then Rochdale[5] before moving south, ending his footballing career playing non-league football for Chelmsford City[6] and Sudbury Town.[7]

He played in one match for Mossley , scoring a goal in the 1947–48 season.[8]

Hurst became player-manager of Sudbury in the 1950–51 season. He took the team to the final of the Suffolk Senior Cup and third place in the Essex & Suffolk Border League.[7]
