Career
Born in Barrow-in-Furness, Curtis began his career with Holker Old Boys, and was signed by Jimmy Harvey in 1998 for Morecambe. His Morecambe debut came against Dover Athletic on 25 April 1998.
After a period of indifferent form, he went on loan to his home town club Barrow for a spell during the 2003-2004 season. Upon his return, he hit a rich vein of form and has rarely been out of the first team since. His form after his return from loan saw him attract the attention of Football League club Rochdale who had two bids for him turned down.
He was awarded the Morecambe Visitor newspaper Player of the Season award at the end of the 2004/5 season for receiving the highest average rating of all Morecambe players during the course of the season.
More recently he has been playing on the left wing rather than his natural striker position. Following injuries, he attracted the attention once again of Barrow whom he joined on a month's loan on 1 January 2009. The loan was not extended due to financial difficulties and a resulting transfer embargo at Morecambe. He was released at the end of his contract in May 2010.
Also, Wayne has a record of being the first player to miss a penalty at the New Wembley.
On 29 July 2010 Wayne Curtis signed for newly promoted Conference National side Fleetwood Town.
On 31 January 2011, Curtis joined Barrow on loan until the end of the season.
In September 2011 Curtis signed for Northern Premier League Premier Division club Kendal Town on a non-contract basis but was short lived and left the club in mid-October 2011 and is currently looking for a new club despite turning down an offer from Conference North side Workington.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“From a hasty glance through the various tests I figure it out that I would be classified in Group B, indicating “Low Average Ability,” reserved usually for those just learning to speak the English Language and preparing for a career of holding a spike while another man hits it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
