James John "Jimmy" Corbett (born Hackney, July 6 1980) is an English football (soccer) player currently playing for Folkestone Invicta.

Career

A midfielder, Corbett first became recognised while playing at Gillingham. He was playing in the first team at the age of 17cite book | first=Roger|last= Triggs | title=The Men Who Made Gillingham Football Club| publisher=Tempus Publishing Ltd | year=2001| id=ISBN 0-7524-2243-X|pages=94] and his performances attracted attention from Premier League teams, leading to him joining Blackburn Rovers for £525,000 in 1998. After joining Blackburn, he never really found the form that had attracted so many Premier League teams to him, due to extensive injury problems, including two broken ankles. Without playing a single game for Blackburn in the league, he was sent out on loan to Portsmouth (no game played again) and then to Darlington.

After being released by Blackburn at the end of the 2003 season he joined Southend United, where he played a minor part in their team until 2005 when he was released again. He had a trial for Welling United, but a permanent move never materialized. He later joined Folkestone Invicta.
