Following in the footsteps of older brother Matt, Tom Currie came through Merchiston Castle School, representing the school at U16 and U18 level.

In December 2022 he captained Merchiston to victory in the U18 Schools Cup Final at Scottish Gas Murrayfield.

The back-row joined the Edinburgh academy ahead of the 2023/24 season and stepped up to Scotland U20 in 2024.

He featured in the U20 Six Nations and was part of the squad that won the World Rugby U20 Trophy at Hive Stadium that summer, sealing promotion back to the top tier.

He gained further experience with Edinburgh ‘A’ against sides including Bath United and Ealing Trailfinders, and on a short-term loan at Championship club Doncaster Knights during the Premiership Cup.

Currie made his senior Edinburgh debut off the bench against Scarlets in January 2025, appearing alongside Matt in the same matchday squad.

He made his first start at number 8 against Zebre Parma a few weeks later. That May, he stepped up to the senior squad on a two-year professional contract.

Comfortable across the back row, Currie scored his first Edinburgh try starting at number 8 in the URC win over Ospreys in November 2025.

He went on to add starts against the Hollywoodbets Sharks and others as he became one of several young forwards catching the eye in the capital.

He has continued to push for selection in 2026/27, crossing for the bonus-point try in the final minute of the win over Zebre in Parma.
