Welcome to Sports Curtis.”
John McGrath

Curtis’ quote:
“I’m a local lad and everything seems right for where I am in this stage of my career. From playing against Mickleover numerous times, I’ve always admired the way they play good passing football, this is important for me as a player and a big factor in me joining the Football club. I feel that this is the rights place for me to develop as a footballer. I think I am joining Mickleover at the right time, from speaking to people at the club, it is clear to see there ambition moving forward and also some exciting developments at the football club. I’ve had a taste of a play-off final last season with Grantham, I want to be able to go one step further next season and feel that Mickleover has a great chance of doing that. I’m still young at 21 but feel I have a decent amount of experience at this level and have a lot to offer as a player. I can’t wait to get started!”
