Career

Hamilton

On 31 August 2011 Currie signed for Hamilton Academical after the second of two offers was accepted by Berwick.^[4][5] He made his debut on 10 September against Queen of the South at Palmerston Park.^[6] His first goal for the club came on 15 October against Morton in their 2–0 win,^[7] going on to score from the spot against Ayr United on 29 October.^[8] He was released by Hamilton upon his request in January 2012, and as FIFA regulations allow a player to play for only two Senior clubs in a season, Currie returned to Musselburgh Athletic for a third spell until the summer.^[9][10][11]
