Curtis made his Wellington debut in 2012 against Manawatu and went on to establish himself as a regular starter and try-scorer for the Lions over the next 2 seasons. Despite a substandard showing by his province in 2014 in which they were relegated from the ITM Cup Premiership, Curtis's own form was strong.[according to whom?]
Curtis signed with Manawatu in August 2015 on a week by week basis.[1]
In May 2018, it was announced that Curtis Ambrose had signed for Gallagher Premiership team Wasps.
