An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (41% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.44 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Curtis.

Judged on this season alone, Curtis graded 22 — a strong campaign that ranks top 17% of the 42 central midfielders in the League One, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 2.438 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 36 → 22). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 29th of 42 of the 42 central midfielders in the League One. At 30 Curtis is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

2.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 25, Curtis carries the 29th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the League One of 42 — though on just 11 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
