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]
