Pet's info: Fish | Unknown - Fish | Male
So I have an established and cycled 10 gallon tank with 1 white male platy and 1 albino Cory catfish, the filter creates a bit of a current and then I have a bubbler to add more of a current, I also have a older maybe 2-3 year old betta who is very chill and I wanted to know I could put him in this tank happily and without fault?

If there is a strong current, it would not be recommended for a Betta. There is also the water temperature differences for these species to consider. Corys are cooler water fish, doing best in water in the lower 70s F. Bettas do best in warmer water, between 78 F and 80 F. Platys are hardy and adaptable and do well in all but the coolest tanks.
