Jack Currie (born 16 December 2001) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for Oxford United.

Early life[edit]

Currie attended the St Lawrence Junior School in East Molesey, before going to Esher High School. He joined the Wimbledon academy when he was 11 years old. He signed his first professional contract with Wimbledon in September 2020.[1][2]

Career[edit]

AFC Wimbledon[edit]

Non-League loans[edit]

In February 2021 Currie joined Maidstone United on a 6-month loan, however the 2020–21 season for Maidstone was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] Having also spent time on loan at Leatherhead, the following season he joined Eastbourne Borough of the National League South on loan in July 2021.[4] Currie won the Players’ Player of the Season award at the end of the 2021–22 season.[5]

2022: Goalscoring league debut[edit]

Currie made his senior league debut at left-back for Wimbledon on the opening day of the 2022–23 season, a 2–0 win over Gillingham at Plough Lane on 30 July 2022 scoring the second goal. He described it as "what you dream of as a kid".[6] Currie made 32 appearances in all competitions for Wimbledon by January 2023, and was reportedly the subject of transfer offers from EFL Championship side Bristol City in the January 2023 transfer window.[7][8] According to the Bristol Post, Wimbledon rejected a number of bids for Currie on transfer deadline day.[9]

Oxford United[edit]

On 5 July 2024, Currie signed for newly-promoted EFL Championship club Oxford United for an undisclosed transfer fee.[10]
