Curtis Main, born on 20 June 1992, is a forward who primarily operates as a striker for Dundee. Born in England and of a robust build, he measures at 6ft tall (1.84m), packing some weight at 13st 7lb (86kg). His kit number is 9 for his current squad. According to Transfermarkt, he holds a market value of around £212k, with his ongoing contract with Dundee scheduled to conclude on 31 May 2025.
Back in July 2007, Main commenced his professional journey as a trainee at Darlington in England's National League North. He put on a commendable show, amassing steadily increasing first-team appearances across the four seasons he spent there and upping his scoring count each season. In May 2011 he moved up to Middlesbrough in the Championship, impressing with his consistent performances across three seasons.
An August 2013 loan saw Main moving to Shrewsbury Town in League One, before returning to Middlesbrough after the conclusion of his season-long loan. In July 2014, he was on the move again, signing for Doncaster Rovers in League Two. Though his first season with the Rovers showed promise, a dip in form saw him loaned to Oldham Athletic in 2016.
Removed from Doncaster Rovers entirely by July 2016, Main made his way to Portsmouth in the Championship, maintaining a reserved contribution over two seasons.
January 2018 introduced Scottish Premiership football to Main's career as he joined Motherwell. His two-season stint had its glorious moments, with the striker delivering a fair share of goals.
Departing Motherwell in July 2019, Main joined Aberdeen, where he again regularly found the net over two seasons. By February 2021, he was back in England with Shrewsbury Town.
July 2021 saw Main return to Scotland, transferred to St Mirren in the Premiership. Here, he significantly contributed to the team effort, scoring nine goals in a single season. Yet by July 2023, Main was on the move to Bengaluru, plying his trade in India's I-League for a brief period before returning to Scotland.
Main's journey brought him to Dundee in January 2024. He has been a steady presence in the team since his arrival, even participating in the League Cup 2024 - 2025 where he netted four goals in six appearances, proving that the striker, even at 32 years old, still carries plenty of fuel in the tank.
