He spent most of his professional playing career with the San Jose Earthquakes in Major League Soccer.

Known as a "reliable contributor who [is] strong in defense, composed and responsible with the ball and who works hard to make his teammates better",[2] Corrales was the last remaining active MLS player from its inaugural season in 1996 upon his 2013 retirement.

His first assist came a couple months later on June 8 against the Dallas Burn and his first goal came off a free kick against the Tampa Bay Mutiny on September 9.

[11] Due to the fact that HamKam was relegated at the end of the season, rumors swirled about where Corrales would leave to.

[14] The case was solved on March 14 when the Norwegian Immigration Appeals Board (UNE) gave Corrales a new work-permit.

[15] Corrales dealt with injuries and made only 17 appearances overall for the club, but scored a goal and helped lead Brann to their first title since 1963.

Corrales was rumored to return to MLS with Toronto FC and former club New York Red Bulls showing interest.

[19] Corrales eventually returned to the United States in 2008, re-signing for the San Jose Earthquakes, who bought his rights from the Houston Dynamo.

After the departure of Quakes captain Nick Garcia in a trade, Corrales was selected by Frank Yallop to be the next player to lead the team.

Yallop cited Corrales' experience, calm but stern leadership, and being bilingual as reasons for selecting him as captain.

[21] In 2009, he became the team's all-time leader in appearances with his 164th, in their match against FC Dallas on October 7 passing Richard Mulrooney to grab the record.

[29] In 2018, he came out of retirement to become a player-coach for Premier Development League team Santa Cruz Breakers FC in their debut season.

[30] In April 2021, he joined the technical staff of USL Championship expansion side Monterey Bay FC.
