Born on Christmas Day 1999 in the Republic of Ireland, Corrie Ndaba is a determined defender who currently plies his trade for Kilmarnock, wearing the number 3 jersey. Measuring in at 6ft 2in tall (1.88m) and tipping the scales at 12st 12lb (82kg), Ndaba adds a notable physical presence to his side's defence line.
Historically, Ndaba discovered his professional beginnings at Ipswich Town, joining their ranks as a trainee in July 2016. Described as a stalwart in England's top-tier Premier League at the time, Ipswich offered Ndaba an educational start to his football career.
By January 2021, he was willing and ready for a new challenge, making his way north to join Scottish Championship outfit Ayr United on loan. His time in Scotland was however brief and by August later that year, Ndaba, still technically an Ipswich player, began a loan spell with England's League Two side Salford City.
Continuing a trend of seasonal loan movements, he was on the move again in August 2022, this time to Burton Albion, a team competing in England's third tier, the League One. During his spell there, in the 2022 - 2023 season, Ndaba made a respectable total of seven first-team appearances in league matches.
His performances at Burton Albion warranted a January 2023 loan move to Fleetwood Town, again in England's League Two. His time at Fleetwood saw him feature three times for the first team, over the course of the remainder of the 2022 - 2023 season.
July of 2023 saw Ndaba return to Scottish soil, transferred once again on loan to the Premiership's Kilmarnock. He soon became a regular feature, putting in 28 first team appearances and netting a goal in league matches for the 2023 - 2024 season. As of the current season, 2024 - 2025, Ndaba has already made 21 appearances and scored another goal.
The Irish defender's tenure at Ipswich Town finally came to an end in July 2024 when he transferred to Kilmarnock on a permanent basis for an undisclosed fee. Rising to the occasion, Ndaba seems to have found his stride at Kilmarnock, repeating his impressive performance from the previous season thus far.
As a testament to his tenacity, Ndaba was also called upon to represent Kilmarnock in the Conference League Qualifiers 2024 - 2025, during which he made one appearance, coming on as a substitute.
