=Middlesbrough=

After a trial with Middlesbrough, Main joined the Championship club on 12 May 2011, signing a one-year contract with an option for a second year.

According to Mowbray, Main "came here on trial and trained with the youth team and you could see the power and speed he's got. His finishing with both feet is breathtaking at times. Whether the ball drops to his right foot or left foot, he doesn't hesitate. ... Physicality isn't going to be an issue for Curtis throughout his career. He's a boy who spends a lot of time looking after his physique and he's very, very strong."{{cite news |url=http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/main-carayol-put-new-life-3666477 |title=Main and Carayol put new life into Boro campaign |first=Philip |last=Tallentire |newspaper=The Gazette |location=Middlesbrough |date=14 February 2013 |access-date=12 July 2015}}
