Thank you to the good people in sports clubs all across Ireland who do the unseen work that means so much for players as we reflect back on our sports days. pic.twitter.com/zrT0vgtKBh
Curtin is a very experienced and well respected player in the women’s game and lists Cork City, Galway, Wexford, Limerick FC and Treaty United among her clubs at the elite level of the game in the country. The centre-back played with a host of local clubs in Limerick and began her career at Trinity Rangers.
She went on to thank all clubs and national teams that she represented during her distinguished career.
From the young days at Trinity Rangers & Croom UTD where I got started to Lifford, Hofstra, Long Island Fury, Fortuna FK, to Irish underage/colleges/senior team & to Kilmallock UTD, Cork City FC, Galway FC, a brief stint at Wexford, to Limerick FC & Treaty United FC.
