Curtis Main, born on 20 June 1992 (age 34), is an English striker whose career has run through the English lower leagues and Scottish Premiership without ever becoming especially tidy. He started at Darlington, moved on to Middlesbrough, and later had spells with clubs including Doncaster Rovers and Portsmouth.
His Scottish career began with Motherwell, where his direct style was a reasonable fit, before he moved to Aberdeen. The most productive league season of his career came later at St Mirren in 2022-23, when he scored nine goals in 37 appearances. That was not a spectacular return, but it was a useful one for a centre-forward asked to do more than wait for chances.
Main has also had spells away from Scotland, including a move to Bengaluru, before continuing a career built on physical work, movement across the front line and the kind of experienced centre-forward play that tends to keep managers interested. His market value is around £213,000, according to Transfermarkt.
It has been a solid professional career rather than a showy one: early promise in England, a long spell around the senior game, and his strongest scoring season coming at St Mirren.
