Corrie Ndaba

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

Corrie Ndaba is a Republic of Ireland left-back, born on 25 December 1999 (age 26), now playing for Lecce. He wears the number 3 shirt and has been used regularly in Serie A during 2025-2026, making 14 league appearances without scoring.

His career is still most clearly shaped by Kilmarnock. Across two seasons at Rugby Park, Ndaba made 64 league appearances and scored twice, giving him the sustained run of senior football that matters more than a neat line on a CV. His most productive league campaign came in 2023-2024, when he played 28 times and scored once.

Ndaba’s move on to Lecce has taken him into a stronger league, but the Kilmarnock spell remains the main body of work so far. He is an established professional rather than a finished article, with his Scottish years still providing the best measure of his senior career.

The transfer record showed a clear step-by-step progression: three loans out of Ipswich Town, a permanent switch to Kilmarnock, then an 800,000 fee move to Lecce in July 2025. That pattern suggested his Kilmarnock spell was the platform for moving up from the Scottish Premiership into a stronger European league.
