[1] As a teenager, he was overlooked by his region's TAC Cup team North Ballarat[2] but continued to make his way through the local levels of football in Warrnambool.
After finishing second in North Warrnambool's 2015 senior best and fairest award at the age of 19, Corbett was invited to take part in preseason training with the Werribee Tigers and impressed enough to be signed prior to the commencement of the 2016 VFL season.
[3] He gradually adjusted to the higher standard of competition by improving his fitness and made his senior VFL debut for Werribee in August 2016.
[5] His outstanding start to the season came to a halt in round 12 when an errant poke to his left eye from a Frankston opponent obstructed his vision and resulted in a blood clot forming in his iris and pupil.
[14] Corbett suffered a hip injury in late October 2023 which required surgery, and as a result missed the entirety of the 2024 AFL season.
