Currie was released by Rangers in May 2016[2] but joined Heart of Midlothian.[3] He made his professional debut for Heart of Midlothian as a 75th-minute substitute during a 3–0 home win against Motherwell on 28 November 2016.[4] He followed this a month later with his second league appearance against Aberdeen on 30 December.[5]

In January 2017, he was named as one of the Daily Record's Scottish footballing prospects for 2017 alongside Tony Gallagher, Matthew Knox, Ronan Hughes, Liam Burt and Jack Aitchison.[6] Currie suffered a serious knee ligament injury in November 2017.[7] He was subsequently loaned to East Fife, Forfar Athletic and Linfield.[8]
