Career

Hibernian

Byrne was a member of the Hibernian under-19 side that won the league and cup double in the 2008–09 season. He scored the winning goal in both the decisive league match and the Youth Cup Final.^[2]^[3] Byrne was one of seven players in that side who were given professional contracts by Hibs following their success.^[4]

Byrne made his professional debut on 26 August 2009 in the Scottish League Cup against Brechin City,^[5] and made his league debut the following Sunday against Celtic.

Stirling Albion (loan)

East Fife (loan)

Byrne was then loaned to East Fife for the first half of the 2010–11 season.^[7] Byrne scored a hat-trick for East Fife in his fourth appearance for the club, a 6–0 win against Dumbarton.^[8]

After Hibs suffered from a striker shortage due to the sale of Anthony Stokes and an injury to Darryl Duffy, manager John Hughes commented that Byrne was not yet ready to play regularly in the SPL, and needed to "learn his trade" in lower division football.^[9]

Alloa Athletic (loan)

Byrne was loaned to Alloa Athletic on 31 March 2011 for the rest of the 2010–11 season.^[10] Hibs announced in late April that Byrne would be released at the end of the season.^[11]

Ross County

Byrne then signed for Ross County on a one-year contract.^[12] He helped the club win the 2011–12 Scottish First Division and promotion to the SPL.

Brechin City (loan)

Byrne was loaned to Brechin City in September 2012,^[13] and was then released by Ross County in December 2012.^[14]

Dundalk

Byrne signed for Dundalk in January 2013.^[15]

Bohemians

Byrne signed for Bohemians in November 2015, the club his father spent most of his career at.

St Patrick's Athletic

He signed for another of his father's old clubs, St Patrick's Athletic on 9 January 2017. ^[16]

Linfield

He then signed for NIFL Premiership side Linfield.^[17]

The New Saints

In June 2018 he joined The New Saints of the Welsh Premier League citing a desire to return to full-time football.^[18]

Waterford

Following the conclusion of the 2019-20 Welsh Premier League, Kurtis returned to the League of Ireland and signed with Premier Division club Waterford.^[19]

Retirement

After a season at Athlone Town in 2021 and Bray Wanderers in 2022, Byrne announced his retirement from professional football in September 2022.^[20]
