Career

Šturm began his career with Brda, he was then scouted in 1999 by Gorica, he played one year for the youth side and joined returned to his hometown club Brda on loan. After the loan spell with Brda, he returned to Gorica and played his first games in 2001 in the Slovenian PrvaLiga.

On 1 August 2007, he signed for Dundee in a one-year deal with the option of a second year, rejecting apparent interest from Morton, St Johnstone, Gretna and Dunfermline Athletic.[2]

Šturm scored his only goal for the club in a 2–1 victory at the Dens Park, ironically coming against former suitors Morton.

Šturm was released from the club on 31 May 2008, after scoring only one goal in his time at the Dens Park.

In August 2008, Šturm returned home to Slovenia, where he signed a two-year contract to play for Domžale.

Šturm scored his first league goal for Domžale with the game's opener against the previous season's fourth placed side, Celje, in a 3–2 away victory. He was released by Domžale in August 2010, and signed for Drava Ptuj in January 2011, where he stayed for eight months before resigning for his first club in the Third Division, Brda.
