Career

Currie began his football career with Celtic's youth teams before leaving to join the Rangers Academy in January 2016 on a contract until the end of the 2015–16 season.

Currie was released by Rangers in May 2016 but joined Heart of Midlothian. On 28 November 2016, he made his professional debut for Hearts as a 75th-minute substitute during a 3–0 home win against Motherwell. He followed this a month later with his second league appearance against Aberdeen on 30 December.

In January 2017, he was named as one of the Daily Record's Scottish footballing prospects for 2017 alongside Tony Gallagher, Matthew Knox, Ronan Hughes, Liam Burt and Jack Aitchison. Currie suffered a serious knee ligament injury in November 2017. He was subsequently loaned to East Fife, Forfar Athletic and Linfield.

Currie was released by Hearts after the 2019/20 season and was signed by Brechin City in August 2020.
