Club career edit
Paurević started his professional career in his native Germany with Borussia Dortmund reserves and Fortuna Düsseldorf.
In July 2014, at the age of 23, he moved abroad, signing with Russian Premier League club Ufa.[4] An ever-present figure in Ufa starting XI, Paurević helped them avoid relegation in his first season as the team had finished just above the relegation play-off zone.
On 7 June 2016, he rejoined his former Dortmund manager David Wagner at English Championship club Huddersfield Town, signing a three-year deal. He made his debut for the Terriers as a substitute in their 2–1 win over Brentford on 6 August 2016.[5] Having made just two substitute appearances since joining the club, Paurevic was released by mutual consent on 10 January 2017,[6] and joined former club Ufa's training camp in Cyprus, ahead of a potential return to the Russian club.[7]
On 25 January 2017, he signed a new three-and-a-half-year contract with FC Ufa.[8]
On 2 July 2019, he signed a two-year contract with German club SV Sandhausen.[9]
