Off to a good start this season - a brace tonight doubling his goal tally to four in seven appearances: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/62558270
Curtis is out of contract at Pompey this summer. Only 11 starts this season, and of his 6 goals, only one in EFL 1. He was recalled by new manager John Mousinho for the 2-0 win at Fleetwood on Tuesday night, for his first League One start since New Year’s Day. "He responded with a man-of-the-match performance, operating on the left of a front three in a 4-3-3 system" (as opposed to the other positions he has been allocated this season). However, he left the pitch a few minutes before the end. Mousinho afterwards revealed the attacker had rolled his ankle, potentially putting him out for a few weeks". (The News, Portsmouth). The injury could scupper any possibility of a January transfer to Blackpool -- some sources have suggested that Mick McCarthy would be keen to bring Curtis north.
Curtis is out of contract at Portsmouth this summer and had been asking his agent and manager to clarify his future (Hampshire Live). The uncertainty has been exacerbated by an ACL injury (during the game v Bolton) which has ended his season. "Of course, (the contract is )..not something that we’ll ignore and we’ll have to deal with it at some point. But the first thing for us is to make sure, medically, he gets all the support he needs – and he’ll have that now and for how many months it takes him to get back. ‘The medical support will be there and then we’ll look at the situation with the contract". (Manager Mousinho, 'The News', 6 March).
Worst mistake he did was sign his last contract when he did. Was in good form for Portsmouth and should have waited till the summer to see what interest from the Championship there was. Since then Portsmouth have went backwards
So has he though, he's wasn't even a regular starter for them before his injury.
Curtis has turned down the new contract offer (less money) from Portsmouth 'for now'. He will stay at the club, unpaid, while he continues his rehab.

Back running on grass and reckons he is a month ahead of schedule in his rehab. Out of contract now, but Pompey fans would like him to return, as they think Anthony Scully and Gavin Whyte are not of the same standard. (The News, 26 August).
As of the 28th Sept, “Ronan is quite a bit away from being fit" according to Pompey boss Mousinho, and still out of contract.

Perhaps a short term deal at Derry City before going back to England in the summer. They certainly have the financial power in which to do so.
Has left Portsmouth and is now training with AFC Wimbledon, according to the South London Press, 17 December.
Curtis is a solid League 1 player I think, so would be a good signing for League 2 Wimbledon. He's just not international quality though, I'd be surprised if we see him win another cap, he was very poor in the ones he got.
Scores the only goal late on (v MK Dons) to lift Wimbledon to 10th in EFL 2 (BBC Football, 2 March), his third goal in eight appearances this year.
In discussion with AFC Wimbledon about an extension to the short-term contract he signed in January, after 5 goals and 2 assists in 17 appearances for the EFL 2 club, according to Portsmouth paper 'The News' today.
Even merely scoring that goal would probably have been enough to win over the fans, if not necessarily the board!
Signed a 3-year deal with Darren Moore's Port Vale, who were relegated to EFL 2. Moore believes " Curtis’ proven track record would assist Vale in their bid to return to League One...." (The News, Portsmouth, 22 May)
