Playing career

Newcastle Knights

As a young man, Dureau played his junior football for the Port Macquarie Sharks. In the early 2000s, the Newcastle Knights signed him on a deal that would see him playing in the lower grades. He won various awards at the club before making his debut against the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles at Bluetongue Stadium in 2007.

In July 2010, Dureau was told by Knights coach Rick Stone, that it would be in Dureau's best interests to find a new club for 2011, after the signing of young playmaker Beau Henry and the re-signing of Ben Rogers, plus players Jarrod Mullen and Kurt Gidley that also played in the halves.^[2]

Catalans Dragons (Super League)

Dureau signed with the Catalans Dragons for 2011.^[3] He started out at Catalans as the first choice halfback with much individual and team success.
