His delivery from corners, in particular, was a good source of goals for Argyle as they piled up the wins to surge up the League One table after a very poor start to the season.

That led to him missing the first two weeks of pre-season, including the 4-1 win away to Plymouth Parkway on July 11. However, since then Curtis has played in the victories over Bath City (3-0) and Torquay United (1-0), and will continue to build up his match fitness when Argyle play at National League South side Truro City tomorrow (3pm). Curtis said: "I picked up a little meniscus tear in pre-season last year with Port Vale but I just got through it, I could still play on with it. "It was just getting through the games. It was something I needed to get done in the summer and I was out for six weeks all in but I'm back now, fully fit, and getting minutes under my belt again." The target for Curtis and his team-mates to be up to speed for Argyle's first competitive match of the season, which will be the Devon derby against Exeter City at Home Park in the Carabao Cup first round on Monday, August 10. He added: "I feel good. We have all got the same minutes now. It's not necessarily about winning the games, although it's nice to, but it's about fitness and making sure everyone is ready for that first game against Exeter." Curtis made 21 league starts for Argyle, plus another two in the Vertu Trophy, after his move from Port Vale and is looking to build on that in the forthcoming campaign. "I can't wait," he said. "Hopefully add a few more goals and assists for the team, and hopefully we get off to a better start and we can get in the top six." He continued: "I'm not a selfish player, I won't be just shooting from all over the place. I look to assist my team-mates as well, like you have seen at the back end of last season. Hopefully get into double figures in goals and assists this season. "I don't mind wherever I play, I will give 110 per cent for my team-mates, the gaffer (Tom Cleverley) and the staff. I will dedicate myself in the right way every game." Argyle will tackle the 2026/27 season without striker Lorent Tolaj after he completed a £4 million-plus transfer to Championship club Bristol City earlier this week. Curtis and Tolaj were team-mates at Port Vale in 2024/25 as they were promoted from League Two, and then reunited at Argyle in January. "He has been amazing over the last couple of years I have been playing with him, through Port Vale and here at Argyle," said Curtis. "He has deserved it. "No-one is going to stand in his way. He has done amazing for the club, top goalscorer back-to-back seasons with Vale and with Argyle. Hopefully one day he will get to the Prem (Premier League)." While Argyle work to bring in a replacement for Tolaj, they have up-and-coming strikers Owen Oseni and Bim Pepple still to call upon after both had successful first seasons at Home Park in 2025/26. Curtis said: "We have got Bim off the back end of last season when he did really well and Owen is looking good and sharp in pre-season. We will be attacking it really well."
