Sam Curtis, who graced the world with his first cries on 1 December 2005, hails initially from the Rep. Ireland. Overcoming the limit of his homeland's borders, he has somehow found himself stationed at St Johnstone. A versatile lad, Curtis feels most at home in the defender position, showing a special preference for the right-back role. As a walking tower, boasting a height of 6ft (1.85m) and lugging around 11st 13lb (76kg) of bulk, the substantial number 37 jersey seems fitting.
Given his youth and potential, the finance buffs over at Transfermarkt price his current market value around £150k - a fair quid for a lad of his fortitude. Precariously, Curtis' time at St Johnstone is poised on the edge of a knife with a contract set to dissolve into memory come the 31st of May, 2025.
In mid-2021, after a stint at Shamrock Rovers, Curtis emigrated to St. Patrick's Athletic, both clubs steadfast pillars in Rep. Ireland's Premier Division. His debut season was rather slim on appearances, only once lining up for the kick-off of a league match. His 2022 season was considerably less sparse, featuring Curtis in 18 hallowed first-team appearances. By 2023, he was practically wallpaper, making 34 league appearances and even scribbling his name on the scoresheet thrice.
A quick jaunt to England saw Curtis, in January 2024, join the ranks of Championship-descendants, Sheffield United. The semi-illustrious team engagement bristled lightly with a sole first-team league appearance. An August gale saw Curtis whisked off on loan to Peterborough United in England's League One. However, the fruits of this endeavour remain mostly undisclosed.
In January of 2025, the lad determinedly returned to Sheffield post-loan completion. Regardless, his involvement in the first-team league matches resumed its prior sparsity, limited to once again a single appearance.
His journey hence found him landing, quite like a rudderless ship, in the Premiership of Scotland with St Johnstone. Proving not entirely unproductive, Curtis managed to swing his boots in ten league matches during the current 2024 - 2025 season. His time in Scotland's fair land has also seen him playing the Scottish Cup of the same year, where he's shown his commitment with three starts.
The rest, my dear reader, is yet to be written.
