[edit] Career

Curtis made his debut for Cardiff City on the 30 April 2006 against Coventry City in the Football League Championship. On November 24, he joined Accrington Stanley on loan[1]. He returned to the Bluebirds, coming off the bench to score two goals (including the winner) on his Cardiff City debut, away at Carmarthen Town in the FAW Premier Cup. He was released by Cardiff in May 2007[2]. After a few months playing for Carmarthen Town, he moved to Poland, joining MKS Swit, alongside fellow Welshman Gianluca Paladini, in an arrangement with M&M sports management. He stated that his aim is to return to England during the November break in Poland and earn a deal at a Football League club.[3] He eventually returned to Britain and signed a 6 month deal at Forest Green Rovers, linking up with former Cardiff teammate Stuart Fleetwood.[4]

Curtis has played three times for the Wales under-21 team. He has also played at under-19 and under-17 level.
