Career
Urso started playing football in BK Søllerød-Vedbæk and later joined FC Copenhagen still as a youth player.[2] Urso then traveled to Italy with his Danish mom and Italian father when he was nine and settled in Rome, where he later joined AS Roma.[2] He played for AS Roma for a few years and later one year at Gsd Nuova Tor Tre Teste, but chose to take the plunge and travel north to Cesena - without the family - after AC Cesena had shown interest in him.[2] After a year alone in the small town on the Adriatic, he was joined by both his brother and parents who moved north to support him.
On 2 August 2018, Urso joined Salernitana,[3] before he was loaned out to Pro Piacenza at the end of the same month that he joined Salernitana.[1] Urso was at Piacenza until the end of 2018 and returned Salernitana, where his contract was terminated a day later.
On 13 April 2019, he joined Forlì.[4]
On 12 July 2019, he signed with Rimini.[5] On 2 September 2019, before he played any official games for Rimini, he was sold to another Serie C club, Viterbese.[6]
