After playing for the Newcastle Jets Reserves since 2016, Thurgate was called up to the first team in January 2018 in their round 14 away match against Sydney FC, Thurgate was an unused substitute as the match finished 2–2. He then made his professional debut 2 rounds later at home against Brisbane Roar coming on as an 88th-minute substitute for striker Andrew Nabbout.

In the 2018–19 A-League, Thurgate scored 1 goal out of his 9 appearances. His goal came against Western Sydney Wanderers on 4 June 2019.
