Club career

Corbin was a non-roster invitee for hometown club Seattle Reign in May 2021.[4]

Corbin signed with Costa Rican side Alajuelense in February 2022.[5] In less than a year, she became the club's all-time top scorer with 33 goals, surpassing María Paula Salas.[6][7] She won the Costa Rican Women's Premier Division Golden Boot and led the leading club to both the Apertura and Clausura league titles.[8]

After half a season with Serie A Femminile club Parma, where she had 3 goals in 12 games, Corbin moved to Australia and joined the Brisbane Roar in August 2023.[9] She started all 22 games in the A-League Women and led the Roar with 8 goals, also adding 4 assists.[10]

In May 2024, Corbin signed with USL Super League club Carolina Ascent, returning to the United States before the league's inaugural season.[8] She led the Ascent with 12 goals (second in the league) in 28 games, helping the club to the inaugural Players' Shield.[11] The following season, she scored the opening goal against Lexington SC in the 2026 USL Super League final, but the Ascent eventually lost 3–1 in extra time.[12]
