Club career

Curran started his career at local Galway side Mervue United. [1] In his debut season for the club in the 2010 League of Ireland First Division he played seven games and scored three goals as the club narrowly avoided the relegation play-offs. [2]

Curran then transferred to Galway United in 2011 for a season, but only made four appearances in total before transferring to League of Ireland First Division team Salthill Devon for two seasons, finishing bottom of the league both years, although scoring 17 goals over the course of his spell there, finishing by far as the club's highest goalscorer for the two seasons.

The next season Curran was signed by Premier Division team Derry City the next year. Curran scored the winner in a league match against Sligo Rovers to give Derry their first win of the season. [3] Curran was then released the next month, along with teammate Mark Stewart. [4]

Galway United (second spell)

Curran re-signed for Galway United in 2014, while the club was in the First Division, and rarely played in the first season, making four appearances and scoring one goal, [5] as the club achieved promotion. The next season however, he netted a career-best of 13 goals in 26 games, scoring a hat-trick in a 5–0 win over Bray Wanderers. [6] The next season, Curran only scored 3 goals in 24 appearances, and left at the end of the season.

Treaty United

After leaving Galway for the second time, Curran moved to Longford Town and Athlone Town, then back to Mervue United and Galway United, before moving to Limerick team Treaty United in 2022. [7] Curran scored two on his debut for The Shannonsiders in a 5–1 win over Wexford Youths, Curran followed that up with a goal against his old side Galway United [8] and another against Waterford [9] In an FAI Cup match against UCD Curran sent Treaty into their first FAI Cup semi-final with a hat-trick over The Students in a 4–1 win.

Wexford Football Club is an Irish association football club based in Crossabeg, County Wexford. They compete in the League of Ireland First Division. The club joined the league after being awarded a First Division licence for the 2007 League of Ireland season. The opportunity to join the League of Ireland arose as Dublin City became bankrupt before the end of the 2006 season, leaving an uneven number of clubs. The 2007 season coincided with the takeover of the running of the league by the FAI and all existing clubs had to apply for entry into what was effectively a new league. Limerick was the only existing club refused a licence and so Wexford Youths and Limerick 37 were admitted to the new league. The club previously wore pink and black, before switching to a purple and gold combination in 2023. The club rebranded for the start of the 2017 season by dropping the 'Youths' from their title and changing the club crest.
