Career
Hura started out playing in youth clubs of Oleksandriya out of Central Ukraine and later joined the city's main club Polihraftekhnika. In 2000s he moved to Kazakhstan and for almost decade disappeared from Ukrainian football. In 2008 he returned playing in amateurs and eventually joined the newly created club UkrAhroKom from Oleksandriya suburbs.
At the end of 2010, Hura announced his retirement from playing career and became the head coach for the amateur club FC UkrAhroKom Holovkivka where he finished his playing career. During his term as a head coach of that small club, Hura managed to bring that amateur club from amateurs to the Ukrainian second tier competitions. Following completion of the 2013–14 season, UkrAhroKom was merged with PFC Oleksandriya to form FC Oleksandriya and Hura joined the coaching staff of new club coaching youth reserve. After dismissal of Volodymyr Sharan, in May of 2021 Hura became a head coach of FC Oleksandriya.[1]
