Reflecting on his rapid progression, Corr opened up about the challenges of adapting to European football. Arriving in Estonia from the Gambian league, he initially found the transition difficult.

Known for his pace, movement off the ball, and an eye for goal, Corr is expected to add depth and energy to DAC’s attacking options as they look to challenge for the league title and make strides in European competitions.
