After stints with England’s Wolves, Sheffield Wednesday, Milton Keynes Dons and Blackpool as well as Germany’s Arminia Bielefeld, Switzerland’s Grasshopper Club Zurich and Spain’s Granada CF, Canadian winger Theo Corbeanu is back home at Toronto FC.

Ironically, Corbeanu now finds himself back in Spain. Toronto flew to Marbella on Friday to continue its pre-season preparations ahead of a Feb. 22 MLS season-opening visit to D.C. United. His agent set up a trial at Leicester City, which went well and drew the attention of Wolves. He moved up the ranks there — playing more than 50 games for Wolves'' under-18 or under-21 sides — and made his Premier League debut in May 2021, coming off the bench in a 2-0 loss at Tottenham.
“A big opportunity for me, to play in such a decorated league full of big players. Obviously I’m super-grateful for having the opportunity to play over there,” he said. “It wasn’t to be in this time but I think now is the perfect step .” “I love this city. I love this club, I always have,” Corbeanu said. “And I’ve always kept a special eye on them. And felt nothing else made sense. So if it was a move back to the MLS, it was only going to be to one team.”
