Career

Cureton, a Bristol native, began his professional career with Norwich City before moving on to Bristol Rovers. An England youth international, big things were expected of Cureton, but he never quite lived up to the potential. However he became a cult figure among the Norwich faithful by bleaching his hair in yellow and green colours in a derby game against Ipswich in 1996 and subsequently scoring in the same fixture. But after a run of disappointing form was sold by Mike Walker to Bristol Rovers in 1996. More recently his time at Colchester United has seen a resurgence in the striker's career.

His best spell of football came with Reading, who he joined in 2000. He played at Reading for three years before making a mid-2003 switch to Korean league side Busan I'cons (now Busan I'Park). He failed to settle in the Far East however, and after being released from his contract, he returned to England and joined QPR. After an unsettled season at QPR, he joined Swindon Town in June 2005. He failed to make his mark in his first spell at the club and subsequently joined Colchester United on loan and scored 7 goals in the 2005-06 season, which catapulted the Essex side into the automatic promotion spots. His arrival at Colchester coincided with the team's fantastic run of form over the Christmas period and Cureton was widely considered by Colchester fans to be a linchpin in the team's promotion push.

After Swindon's relegation to League Two, Cureton activated a clause in his contract that allowed him to leave Swindon on a free transfer, and rejoined Colchester on a permanent basis.

Cureton has had a period of good goal-scoring form following his transfer, with the highlight being a hat-trick against Derby County on 26 August 2006. He also scored a hat-trick in the 3-0 away win against Southend United.

On the 5th of June 2007, Cureton handed in a transfer request to Colchester United, citing Colchester's ambitions differing from his own, underlined when the club failed to re-sign several key players. This inevitably fueled speculation that Cureton may return to Norwich City, the club where he began his career. The move looked even more likely since Cureton is well known to be an admirer of the club.

However, a day later, Colchester rejected the transfer request, saying that Cureton was an important part in the future of the club and that they wanted to keep him.^[1], though Norwich City manager Peter Grant confirmed that he would like to sign Cureton.^[2] Cureton moved to Norwich City for an undisclosed fee on 29 June 2007, as a replacement for Robert Earnshaw, Norwich's top scorer of the 2006-07 season, who left for Derby County FC in a £3.5m deal the same day.
