. After Swindon's relegation, Cureton activated a clause in his contract that allowed him to leave Swindon on a free transfer, and rejoined Colchester on a permanent basis.
.
His 23 goals in the 2006–07 season gave him the Championship Golden Boot as the league's top scorer, and made him the first Colchester United striker since Tony Adcock
to score 20 league goals in a season; the first for 22 years.
On 5 June 2007, due to agent demands, Cureton handed in a transfer request to Colchester United, citing Colchester's ambitions differing from his own, underlined when the club failed to re-sign several key players. This inevitably fuelled speculation that Cureton might return to Norwich City, the club where he began his career. Cureton himself stated that he would like to return to the club.
Colchester initially rejected the transfer request, saying that Cureton was an important part of the club's future and that they wanted to keep him., though Norwich City manager Peter Grant
confirmed that he would like to sign Cureton. Cureton moved to Norwich City for £825,000 on 29 June 2007. He was signed as a replacement for Robert Earnshaw
, Norwich's top scorer of the 2006–07 season, who left for Derby County in a £3.5m deal the same day.

.
He then scored two in the League Cup
against Barnet
and two on his league debut for Norwich against Southampton
.
Cureton, continued to play very much of a bit part during the season & one of his few goals came during the Canaries' 1–0 win at Scunthorpe United, a victory that lifted Norwich clear of the relegation places ahead of the Christmas and New Year fixtures.
Due to lack of first team football, On 27 November 2008, Cureton joined Barnsley
on a 3 month loan deal, but on 14 January 2009, he was recalled to Norwich City after Glenn Roeder's termination as manager.
When Norwich played Barnsley on the following weekend, the Canaries were 4–0 victors with Cureton scoring one. Cureton played his 100th game for Norwich City against Coventry but put in a bad performance and was dropped for the rest of the season.
The following season, newly appointed manager manager Paul Lambert
started Cureton for the his first three games, only to drop him to the bench for the next two games, leaving him an unused sub for both.
Cureton scored his first two goals of the season, against Leyton Orient and Bristol Rovers, both in which he came on as a late sub. Cureton scored the winning penalty in a Johnstones paint trophy match against Swindon. However this was to be his last ever appearance for Norwich as after this he failed to even secure a place on the bench. After being loaned out to Shrewsbury for the remainder of the season Cureton was released by Norwich City
home. On 2 August 2010 it was announced that he would sign for them on non-contract terms until the club are in a position to offer him something more permanent. On 24 August it was announced that Cureton had signed a permanent deal with the club until January 2011. Cureton signed a contract extension at Exeter City until the end of the 2010–11 season.
