A native of Veracruz, Jurado joined the youth academy of Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz in 2013, going through the various ranks.

On 9 November 2018, Jurado made his debut in the Liga MX in Veracruz's 2–2 draw against Querétaro.[2] On 3 April 2019, it was announced that Jurado had signed a three-year contract extension with Veracruz, with the player stating that he was "happy to stay" at the club, despite reported interest from other clubs.[3] Following the disaffiliation of Veracruz from the Liga MX at the end of the club's 2019 Apertura campaign, Jurado became a free agent.[4]

Jurado also participated at the 2020 CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying Championship, appearing in three matches, where Mexico won the competition. He was subsequently called up to participate in the 2020 Summer Olympics. Jurado won the bronze medal with the Olympic team.[9]
