St Patrick’s Athletic teenager Sam Curtis is one of the most coveted League of Ireland talents, and he is looking to continue his forward momentum this season.

Curtis, 17, started for the Saints in their season opener against Derry City on Friday night – and also made 20 senior League of Ireland appearances last season despite injury.
