Born in Dublin Kurtis is the son of former Celtic player Paul
Byrne.
He was a member of the hugely successful Hibs' Under 19s 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. Byrne was one of seven players in that side who were
given professional contracts by Hibs following their success.
He made his professional debut on 26 August 2009 in the Scottish
League Cup against Brechin City and made his league debut the
following Sunday against Celtic. Later in the season he enjoyed a
month long loan at Stirling Albion.
Byrne was then loaned to East Fife for the first half of the
2010-11 season, endearing himself to the fans by scoring a
hat-trick in his fourth appearance for the club.
In search of more experience Byrne was loaned to Alloa Athletic
on 31 March 2011 for the rest of the 2010-11 season. His potential
was seen first hand by Staggies manager Derek Adams who on
returning to Victoria Park from Hibs signed the youngster up on a
one-year contract.
