# Curtis Tilt

Curtis Anthony Tilt (born 4 August 1991) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for EFL League Two club Salford City. Born in England, he represented Jamaica at international level.

## Club 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.

## International career
