Early life

He was born in London, England, where his parents, Lawrence Corbin (Barbadian) and Elizabeth Ong (Malaysian Chinese), were studying psychiatry and nursing, respectively. [2] [3] Corbin-Ong was one year old when his family moved to Edmonton, the capital city of Alberta. When he was four years of age, his family moved to North Vancouver, where he was raised. [4]

He played a variety of sports in his youth, including football, lacrosse, gridiron football and tennis. [2] Corbin-Ong was six years old when he started playing football for the Lynn Valley SA. [4]

He played for Capilano University in Canada for a season after high school, then joined the Vancouver Whitecaps Residency program. [5] In 2012, he was set to attend the University of British Columbia and join their UBC Thunderbirds soccer team, but while waiting for the new season in five months went to Europe, where he got a tryout with German fifth tier side FC Pommern Greifswald. [5]

Club career

Johor Darul Ta'zim

On 24 November 2017, Corbin-Ong was signed by Malaysian Super League club Johor Darul Ta'zim. [12] Due to Corbin-Ong's mother being from Malaysia, he was classified as a local player. [13] [14]

International career

Corbin-Ong was born in London to a Barbadian father and a Malaysian Chinese mother, but moved to Canada at the age of one and is therefore eligible to play for Canada, England, Barbados and Malaysia internationally. [15]

In June 2019, Corbin-Ong made his Malaysia debut after starting in the friendly match against Nepal. [18] He was allowed to switch allegiance to Malaysia as his previous appearance for Canada was in a friendly match. He scored his first international goal for Malaysia in the FIFA World Cup Qualifier against Timor-Leste which Malaysia won 7–1. [19]

Corbin-Ong represents the nation at the 2023 AFC Asian Cup in Qatar.
