Han er ute med langtidsskade og står nå uten kontrakt. Championship-klubber er fortsatt interessert, men Ronan Curtis innrømmer at det vil være vanskelig å forlate Pompey i sommer.
NYHETER: Iren Ronan Curtis kom til Pompey fra Derry City sommeren 2018 og har nå vært i Pompey i fem år. Ingen andre førstelagsspillere har vært like lenge i Pompey som Curtis.
Hovedtrener John Mousinho har uttalt at han har veldig sansen for Curtis og hans spillestil, men Curtis har vært ute siden han ble skadet mot Bolton i februar. Curtis kan være ute av spill med sin kneskade resten av kalenderåret 2023.
Nå går kontrakten hans ut og spørsmålet er om Curtis og Pompey blir enig om ny kontrakt

– Jeg elsker klubben
Curtis forteller den irske avisa Derry Journal at det vil være vondt å avslutte tiden i Pompey med å forlate klubben nå i sommer. Skadet og uten kontrakt.
– I’m a fans’ favourite there. I’ve been there five years and it’s been an amazing club for myself and my family. It’s not going to be easy for me to leave if it does come to that.
– I love the club to pieces but it’s still ongoing and we’ll just see the outcome in the next couple of weeks or months and see what happens.
Om skaden sier Curtis:
– When you’re playing week in, week out you don’t really spend that much time in the gym and now I’ve got nine months to spend in the gym, which will make it better and better. It’s horrendous. A few of my mates have been through it like ‘Jackie’ (Ciaron Harkin) and I’ve been speaking to them and obviously I was coming out of contract at the same time so that was no good.
– I didn’t even think it was an ACL injury when it happened because I played on for a good 10 or 15 minutes afterwards. I was just hoping it was a little knock or something but I got the bad news and it was a hard one to take. I’m on the road to recovery now. I’ve seven and half months to go and I’m getting fitter and stronger every day. You can’t rush back from it. I’m doing all the right things and I’m ahead of schedule so that’s what the physios have been saying so it looks good and I’m happy.
