Curtis Tilt
📖 About
Curtis Anthony Tilt (born 4 August 1991) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for club Bradford City. Born in England, he represented Jamaica at international level.
Early career
Born in Walsall, Tilt was working in a quarry and had largely stopped playing football when he was spotted by Gornal Athletic playing in a tournament organised by Sporting Khalsa. After one season with Gornal he left to join Tipton Town in the summer of 2013, but then moved on again to Halesowen Town in September of the same year. After two seasons with Halesowen, Tilt moved on to Hednesford Town in 2015, before signing for Wrexham in June 2016, and moving on loan to Forest Green Rovers in March 2017. He signed for Blackpool in June 2017. Tilt signed for Rotherham United on 31 January 2020 for an undisclosed fee. In October 2020 Tilt moved on loan to Wigan Athletic. On 30 January 2021, he rejoined Wigan Athletic on loan for the remainder of the 2020–21 season. He scored his first goal for Wigan in a 3–2 loss to AFC Wimbledon on 6 February 2021. He re-joined Wigan Athletic for a third loan spell on loan on 31 August 2021. Although the loan was originally until the end of the season, Rotherham exercised the option to recall in the January transfer window on 14 January 2021. He returned to Wigan later that month on a permanent deal. On 18 July 2023, Tilt signed for League Two club Salford City on a two-year deal. He was offered a new contract at the end of the 2024–25 season.
Bradford City
On 4 June 2025, Tilt agreed to join newly promoted League One side Bradford City on a two-year deal from 1 July. Tilt defended himself after some fans criticised the signing due to his age, at 33. Tilt later praised the club's pre-season preparations. In September 2025 he underwent hamstring surgery and was ruled out for a number of months. In October it was confirmed that he would remain out-of-action for a few more months. He returned to action in January 2026, saying he was grateful for the time to recover, nothing that the club's good firm made them a target for other teams. Later that month, Tilt suffered racist abuse in the West Yorkshire derby away at Huddersfield, with a man later being arrested. In March 2026, Tilt spoke about the players' battling attributes as they sought promotion through the playoffs.
International career
In March 2021, he was one of six English-born players to receive their first call-up to the Jamaica national team. On 25 March 2021, he made his Jamaica debut when he came on in the 64th minute of a 4–1 defeat to the United States. Tilt said that playing for Jamaica was the proudest moment of his career.
Personal life
Tilt was born in England and is of Jamaican descent.
