Leeds United could have their very own version of Jamie Vardy, if they manage to sign Ronan Curtis.

Vardy’s rags to riches fairytale has been well reported on, after his dramatic rise in recent times.

Vardy went from non-league football to a Premier League champion in a matter of years, and Curtis’ career trajectory seems similar.

The attacker spent six years playing in Ireland before moving to Portsmouth in the summer.

Since his switch to England he has caught the eye, and Leeds are already said to be looking to snap him up.

If Curtis was to move to Leeds he would be taking the next step forward in his career, with the attacker rapidly improving.

Curtis has already gone from Irish football to be one of League One’s biggest stars, and if he was to move to Leeds then the 22-year-old would have the platform required to become a star.

Leeds appear to be in with a great of becoming a Premier League side next year, and that would give Curtis a chance of going from Irish football to playing in England’s top flight in the space of just 18 months.
