Club career
Curtis joined Rangers' academy at age 6, having impressed at a football school run by the club.[2] In July 2022, he signed his first professional contract and was promoted to Rangers' under-18 team.[5] His deal was extended in January 2023 to last until June 2024.[6] On 1 May 2024 he scored a penalty kick to equalise as Rangers came from behind to win the Scottish Youth Cup against Aberdeen at Hampden Park.[7] On 28 May 2024, Curtis signed a further extension until 2025.[8]
