Corrie Ndaba

Corrie Ndaba of Lecce was born on 25 December 1999 (age 26).

Corrie Ndaba, born on 25 December 1999 (age 26), is a Republic of Ireland left-back with Lecce, where he wears the number 3 shirt.

The bulk of his senior career has been shaped by Kilmarnock. Across two seasons at Rugby Park he made 64 league appearances and scored twice, giving him the kind of settled run that can make a player look more than a name moving between squads.

His strongest league return came in 2023-24, when he scored once in 28 league appearances for Kilmarnock. That spell remains the clearest marker of his career so far: regular football, a defined role, and enough substance to move his career on.

By 2026-27 he was with Lecce in Italy, making four Serie A appearances. Ndaba’s career to this point is a straightforward one: an Irish left-back whose most meaningful football has come at Kilmarnock, now trying to build on that in Serie A.

Ndaba's career traced a pathway from Ipswich Town through a series of lower-league loans to Burton Albion and Fleetwood Town, followed by a loan to Kilmarnock in July 2023 and a permanent move there in July 2024, before stepping up to Serie A with Lecce in July 2025 – the sequence shows progression from loan spells to a permanent role in Scotland and then a transfer into top-flight Italian football.
