A creative midfielder, Curtis Weston signed a two-year deal at the Gills in September 2008 following an initial one-month loan from Leeds United.

Weston can operate on the right or centre of midfield and holds the record for the youngest player to appear in an FA Cup Final, having come on as a substitute for Millwall in the 2004 FA Cup Final against Manchester United. He began his career at Millwall and has also represented Swindon Town.

He made his Gillingham debut in the 1-1 away draw at Bournemouth in August 2008 and quickly became a permanent fixture in the midfield. He scored five goals in 52 league and cup appearances that season, with each goal being as spectacular as the last. 

His 25 yard volley against Shrewsbury at Priestfield was voted the Goal of the Season 2008/09 and Curtis also finished third in the poll with a stunning drive from distance against Wycombe.

Prior to the start of the 2009/10 season he agreed a contract extension that will tie him to the Gills until 2011/12 and enjoyed a sparkling start to the season scoring five times in the first four months of the campaign. His final tally of eight goals in all competitions makes 2009/10 the 23 year-old's best season since turning professional.

Hampered by a series of niggling injuries in 2010/11, he was restricted to just 29 first team starts but continued his happy knack of scoring spectacular goals, including another Goal of the Season contender in the 1-1 draw with Crewe at Gresty Road.
