Curd joined up with Chelsea at under-9 level.[3] He signed his first professional contract with the club in February 2023.[4] Later that year he joined Isthmian League side Hashtag United on loan, having reportedly requested the move having watched the club’s YouTube videos from a young age.[5] He made his league debut for Hashtag United in September 2023 against Kingstonian, earning the man-of-the-match award on debut.[6] On 7 January 2024, after 16 starts for Hashtag United and 4 clean sheets, Ted was recalled from his loan by Chelsea.[7]

On 30 June 2024, Curd was sent on loan to National League South club Hampton & Richmond Borough for the 2024–25 season.[8]
