Theo Corbeanu

Theodor Alexander Corbeanu (born May 17, 2002) is a Canadian professional soccer player who plays as a forward or a winger for Major League Soccer side Toronto FC, on loan from Segunda División club Granada, and the Canada national team.

Born in Hamilton, Ontario, Corbeanu began playing house league soccer at the age of five with local club Quinndale Youth Soccer as a goalkeeper, but soon switched to a forward role. At youth level, he later played for local clubs Mount Hamilton SC, Hamilton Sparta SC, Saltfleet SC and Givova Academy. In late 2016, after a successful trial, Corbeanu joined the academy of Toronto FC.

In 2018, he played for Toronto FC III in League1 Ontario. He scored two goals in a 6–1 victory over Toronto Skillz FC on May 21, 2018.

Having left Toronto FC in August 2018, Corbeanu was unsuccessful in a trial for English club Leicester City, but was later offered a scholarship with the academy of Wolverhampton Wanderers, in which he represented the club's U16 and U18 sides. In the summer of 2019, he joined the first team on their pre-season trip in China, before joining the club's U23 development squad in 2020.

After playing nine games for the Wolves U23 team, in which he scored four goals, Corbeanu signed a professional contract with the first team in October 2020. He subsequently became a regular fixture on the Wolves bench, eventually making his Premier League debut appearance for the club on May 16, 2021, coming on as a second-half substitute in their game away to Tottenham Hotspur, which ended with a 2–0 defeat.

On August 2, 2021, Corbeanu joined EFL League One club Sheffield Wednesday on a season-long loan. He made his Owls debut in a single-goal defeat at Morecambe on August 28. On November 2, Corbeanu scored his first senior professional goal, with the opener in a 3–0 victory over Sunderland.

On January 6, 2022, Corbeanu was recalled from his loan early by Wolves and sent back out on loan to another League One club, Milton Keynes Dons, for the remainder of the 2021–22 season. He made his debut on January 11 in a 1–0 home win over rivals AFC Wimbledon, and four days later scored his first goal for the club in a 2–1 away win over Portsmouth. Corbeanu went on to make 17 appearances for MK Dons as the club secured a third-placed play-off finish.

On July 28, 2022, Corbeanu joined EFL Championship club Blackpool on loan for the duration of the 2022–23 season. He made his debut for the club the next day as second-half substitute in a single-goal victory over Reading at Bloomfield Road. On August 20, Corbeanu scored his first goal for Blackpool, netting their first in an eventual 3–3 draw against Burnley. On January 3, 2023, he was re-called by Wolves after suffering an ankle injury, ending his time at the club.
