'''Jeppe Lund Curth''' (born 21 March 1984) is a Danish former professional [[association football|footballer]] who played as a [[forward (association football)|forward]]. He played 43 matches and scored 15 goals for various Danish youth national teams, most recently the [[Denmark national under-21 football team|Danish national under-21 team]].

== Career ==
Curth signed his first youth contract with Danish club [[Farum BK]] when he turned 16. He was called up for various Danish youth national teams, debuting for the under-16 squad in March 2000. After several training sessions with Dutch club [[Feyenoord]], he was brought into the youth setup of the club in April 2001. From 2001 to 2003, Curth scored ten goals in 13 games for the Danish under-19 national team, and he was named 2002 [[Danish Football Player of the Year#Young Players of the Year|Danish Young Player of the Year]].

He had a hard time forcing his way into the Feyenoord line-up. He was [[loan (football)|loaned out]] to team [[SBV Excelsior|Excelsior]], based in Rotterdam like Feyenoord, for the 2004–05 season, where he made his senior debut and scored eight goals in 19 games. When his contract with Feyenoord expired in July 2005, he returned to Denmark to play for [[AaB Fodbold|AaB]] in the [[Danish Superliga]]. In his first time with AaB, Curth played both as an [[attacking midfielder]] and forward, before settling as the striking partner of [[Sweden men's national football team|Sweden international]] forward [[Rade Prica]] in the [[Danish Superliga 2006-07|2006–07 Superliga]] season.
