That goal was the first in a run of five matches in a row in which Hurtado managed to find the back of the net. He scored on May 14 against Toronto FC in the Canadian Championship before finding the net against the Seattle Sounders FC on May 24. He then scored in a 4–3 victory over his hometown Portland Timbers on June 1 before finishing his scoring run against the Philadelphia Union on June 7 in a 3–3 draw. Hurtado then ended the 2014 season with one goal each in two matches against FC Dallas on September 13 and October 29. On August 7, 2015, Hurtado was loaned out to Norwegian Tippeligaen side Mjøndalen for the rest of the 2015 season. He made his debut for the club on August 13 in the Norwegian Cup against Rosenborg. The next season, he returned to Vancouver having scored two goals in 24 matches. He made his debut for Kansas City on February 21, 2019, in the CONCACAF Champions League against Toluca.

He made his debut on April 14 against Toronto FC, coming on as a substitute in the 4–2 victory. Columbus Crew On July 8, 2021, Hurtado was traded to the Columbus Crew in exchange for $200,000 in General Allocation Money. According to CF Montréal sporting director, Olivier Renard, the trade had to be made since Hurtado was not vaccinated against COVID-19 and thus would not be allowed to enter Canada when the rest of the team were allowed to return. Following the 2021 season, Columbus declined their contract option on Hurtado. However, Hurtado and Columbus came to terms on a new deal on February 3, 2022. Hurtado scored his first goal for the club on May 7, 2022, in a 2–2 tie with the New England Revolution.
