Coventry City
Christie made his professional debut against Morecambe on 10 August 2010, in a 2–0 away defeat.
He joined Conference North side Nuneaton Town on loan in January 2011, but was recalled by Coventry after two starts and three substitute appearances. He then went on a 'work experience' loan to another Conference North club Hinckley United, in February 2011, where he made eight league appearances.
After Coventry's first league win of the 2011–12 season, a 2–0 home win against Derby County, Christie made it into the Championship team of the week after putting in a man of the match performance. The following season, he was in the League One side of the week after putting a man of the match performance against Leyton Orient. The following game, in the first round of the FA Cup, he scored his first goal. Whilst at Conventry Christie took up painting with his feet.
Derby County
On 10 July 2014, Christie signed a three-year deal at Derby County. He was out of contract at Coventry, but the two clubs agreed an undisclosed fee for the player since he came through Coventry's academy and was under 23 years old.
Christie made his debut against Rotherham United on 9 August, where he provided an assist for goalscorer Jeff Hendrick in a 1–0 home victory. On 20 February 2016, he scored his first Rams goal in his 74th appearance, a 3–1 win at Brentford. His short-range strike with seven minutes remaining was his first club goal since March 2013 and ended an eight-game winless run at the start of the year.
Middlesbrough
On 7 July 2017, Christie joined Middlesbrough FC.
International career
Born in England, Christie was eligible to represent the Republic of Ireland through his grandmother from Dublin. He is the great great grandson of former Shamrock Rovers player of the 1920s, Patrick Malone. In October 2014, Ireland manager Martin O'Neill reached out to Christie over representing the Republic of Ireland having been impressed with his performances for Derby at the beginning of the 2013–14 season following his move from Coventry. On 10 November, Christie was called into the Ireland squad for a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying match against Scotland, and a friendly against the United States.
On 18 November 2014, Christie made his international bow for Ireland against the United States, in a 4–1 win at the Aviva Stadium, with O'Neill praising his performance. He scored his first international goal on his next cap, a 4–0 away win over Gibraltar on 4 September 2015 which was his competitive debut in UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying. That 8 October, he played in a victory over world champions Germany in another qualifier, and was praised for his contributions.
