Dursun began his senior career with the reserves of Hannover 96 in 2010, and moved to Turkey thereafter with Eskişehirspor. From Eskişehirspor, he had two short loans with Şanlıurfaspor and Denizlispor before transferring to Karagümrük in 2014. In 2016, he returned to Germany with Greuther Fürth and then Darmstadt 98 in 2018.

Dursun completed 2020–21 2. Bundesliga season with 27 goals, making him the top-scorer of the season.[3]
