Curtin began her football career with Lifford Ladies FC, and played for UCD in the 2003–04 UEFA Women's Cup. In 2004 Curtin moved to Hofstra University on a soccer scholarship. While in America Curtin also turned out for the WPSL club Long Island Fury. Here she was converted to a striker, scoring a hat-trick on her debut.
On returning to Ireland, Curtin played gaelic football for Limerick and joined newly formed local soccer team Kilmallock United. In February 2011 Curtin joined FA WSL club Lincoln Ladies on trial. She signed for Cork Women's FC in late 2011, ahead of the new National Women's League.
Curtin signed for Norwegian team Fortuna Ålesund in April 2012. She was praised by her new coach following her debut, playing as a central defender in Ålesund's 2–2 draw with Åsane on the opening day of the league season. Ålesund were unable to agree terms with Curtin for the following campaign and she departed the club in May 2013.
