He agreed a deal with Portsmouth in May 2018 and joined the South Coast club for a fee believed to be approximately £100,000. In March 2019, he won his first senior honour, the EFL Trophy.

He represented Ireland at under-21 level before making his senior debut in November 2018 in a 0–0 draw against Northern Ireland.


Club career



Derry City


Curtis moved to Derry City's academy in 2014, after playing for Kildrum Tigers and Swilly Rovers.[4][5] He made his senior debut for the club on 8 May 2015, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–0 home loss against Galway United.[6]

Curtis scored his first goal for Derry on 30 October 2015, netting his team's first in a 4–2 away loss against Longford Town.[7] On 25 November, he signed a two-year contract extension,[8] and scored a brace in a 2–2 home draw against Shamrock Rovers on 27 September of the following year.[9]

On 19 February 2017, Curtis signed a new contract extension with the Candystripes.[10] He finished the campaign with eight goals in 32 appearances, and had a move to Swedish side Östersunds FK cancelled in August after failing to agree personal terms.[11]

On 7 May 2018, amid high interest from Portsmouth,[12] Curtis scored a hat-trick in a 7–3 home routing of Shelbourne, taking his side to the semi-finals of the League of Ireland Cup.[13]


Portsmouth


On 22 May 2018, League One side Portsmouth agreed a deal to sign Curtis from Derry City, for a transfer fee in the region of £100,000 on a two-year contract.[14] Curtis made his English Football League debut at Fratton Park on 4 August, playing the full 90 minutes of a 1–0 victory over Luton Town.[15] A week later, he scored his first two goals in a 2–1 win at Blackpool.[16] On 31 March 2019, he won his first piece of silverware when Portsmouth won the 2018–19 EFL Trophy, defeating Sunderland 5–4 on penalties following a 2–2 draw after extra time.[17]

On 20 August 2019, Curtis scored his first goal of the new season in a 3–3 home draw against Coventry City with a header in the tenth minute.[18]

On 12 January 2021, Portsmouth announced that Curtis had tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of his club's FA Cup Third Round Proper game against Bristol City.[19] The striker later spoke of the effect the illness had on his breathing, as well as his sleep pattern and dreaming.[20]


International career


Although born in England, Curtis grew up in St Johnston, Donegal and has represented the Republic of Ireland at under-21 and senior level.[3][21] On 7 September 2018, Curtis scored his first international goal in a 1–1 draw against Kosovo in the UEFA Under-21 Championship qualifying stage.[22]

Received the ROI under 21's player of the year 2018 Shane Duffy and Ronan Curtis pick up FAI Player of the Year Awards

On 9 September 2018, Curtis was called up to the senior Republic of Ireland squad for the friendly match against Poland two days later,[23] in which he was an unused substitute.[24] He was again added to the Ireland squad on 14 October for a UEFA Nations League encounter against Wales.[25] He made his full Ireland debut on 15 November 2018, coming on as a half-time substitute for Callum O'Dowda in a goalless friendly against Northern Ireland at the Aviva Stadium.[26]


Personal life


Curtis was born in London but moved to Donegal, Ireland when he was ten. He is the godson of Chris Coleman, who played for and managed Wales.[27] Curtis supported Arsenal while growing up, but also watched Crystal Palace games.[28] Curtis's mother is from Derry and his grandfather is from Cork,[28] meaning Curtis was eligible to play for England, the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland[28] until making his competitive Ireland debut against Denmark in Aarhus in November 2018.[29] Curtis is the youngest of 11 siblings.[30]
