We were delighted to confirm the signing of defender Sam Curtis on loan from Sheffield United until the end of the season.

Born in Navan, Ireland, the full-back was on the books of Shamrock Rovers before moving to St Patrick’s Athletic in August 2021, where he became their youngest ever player at 15 years and 255 days old.

The Republic of Ireland youth international picked up the PFAI Young Player of the Year award in 2023 having made 39 senior appearances and helped the Saints win the FAI Cup.

From there, Sam made the move to Sheffield United where he signed a long-term deal until 2027. He made his debut in the English Premier League against Everton.

Most recently the defender spent time on loan at English League One side Peterborough and he is now ready to test himself in the Scottish Premiership with Saints.
