A fullback, Currie represented Wellington and Canterbury at a provincial level, and was a member of the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, on their 1978 tour of Britain and Ireland. He played four matches on that tour, including two internationals, before receiving a broken jaw in the test against Wales.[1]

A left-handed batsman and right-arm offbreak bowler, Currie played for the New Zealand secondary schools cricket team, and later appeared in three first-class matches for Wellington during the 1976–77 season.[1][2]
