Moritz Fürste was named as the Euro Hockey League's Most Valuable Player in the 2007–08 and 2009–10 seasons. At the 2011 European Championship, he got the Award as Most Valuable Player of the tournament.
At the inaugural season of the Hockey India League, Fürste was named one of the six marquee players. At the player's auction, he was bought by Ranchi Rhinos for US$75,500, with his base price being US$25,000. He captained the team to a first-place finish in the season. In the second season, the Rhinos finished third. Following the franchise's withdrawal from the League, the entire team was drafted under a new franchise and team named Ranchi Rays, for the third season. Fürste, however, pulled out of the tournament to represent his country at the 2015 Indoor World Cup.
At the 2015 players' auctions, he was bought by Kalinga Lancers for US$105,000, from a base price of US$30,000. His team finished fifth in the round-robin stage and failed to enter the knock-outs. In the 2016 season, he scored the team's lone goal in a 6–1 loss to Punjab Warriors in the final. Reaching the final again in the 2017 season, he scored twice from penalty corner in the final, in the 30th and 59th minutes to beat Dabang Mumbai 4–1. With 12 goals that included 11 penalty corner conversions and one field goal to his name, he emerged as the tournament's top-scorer alongside teammate Glenn Turner.
Hyrox
Fürste co-founded HYROX, a fitness competition format, together with Christian Toetzke in 2017. Every competition starts with a 1 km run, followed by one functional movement, and these two elements are repeated eight times. To date, the 8 functional movements are SkiErg, Sled Push, Sled Pull, Burpee Broad Jump, Rowing, Farmers Carry, Sandbag Lunges, Wall Balls in this respective order. Initially started in Germany, the competition has since expanded worldwide. A network of Hyrox-affiliated gyms has also been established.
