Stucki stayed with the club for a further three seasons. During this time he was business student at the University of Basel. At the beginning of the 2004–05 Swiss Challenge League season Stucki received an offer from FC Zürich and was loaned out to them for the first half of the season. After the loan period ended he returned to Concordia. He had impressed Zurich's head coach Lucien Favre that match that the club made Stucki the offer to take him on permanently, which he accepted. He was a member of the Swiss Championship winning team in 2005–06, 2006–07 and 2008–09. He retired from professional football in January 2010 at the age of 28.[3]

In his final season of his playing career with Zürich, he was forced to sit out with an ankle injury during the clubs UEFA Champion League campaign.

After his retirement from professional football, Stucki returned to Basel and was employed by the Kantonspolizei Basel-Stadt. He worked ten years for them as resource planner. During this time he recovered from his injury and played as amateur, at first for half a year for BSC Old Boys. From the 2010/11 season he played for the ambitious 2. Liga club FC United Zürich.
