Career
Correa played youth football and debuted professionally with Vélez Sarsfield, entering the field in a 1–1 draw with Godoy Cruz in the 2011 Apertura.
For the 2012–13 season, the midfielder was loaned to Defensores de Belgrano in the Primera B Metropolitana (Argentine third division), returning to Vélez the following season. Upon José Oscar Flores taking up coaching of the first team, Correa played more first team football. Although he was mainly used as a substitute for Héctor Canteros, Correa played 16 games (scoring three goals) in the 2014 Final and another 8 games (scoring three goals, including a double against Nacional in the round of 16) in the 2014 Copa Libertadores. He also entered the field in Vélez Sarsfield's victory over Arsenal de Sarandí in the 2013 Supercopa Argentina.
After Canteros' departure, Correa started the 2014 Torneo de Transición in the starting eleven of the team and socred once in Vélez' defeat to Boca Juniors in La Bombonera. However, in the 10th fixture against Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata he suffered a knee cruciate ligament injury that left him out of the squad for the remainder of the tournament. He returned to the first team in the 8th fixture of the 2015 Argentine Primera División, entering the field in a 2–1 victory over Arsenal de Sarandí. However, only three games later, he suffered again the same injury in his other knee, on the eleventh minute of the 3–0 victory against La Emilia for the 2014–15 Copa Argentina.
After recovering for a second time, he renewed his contract with Vélez and returned to the first team. He scored his first goal since his return in a 3–2 victory against Belgrano, for the 8th fixture of the 2016 Argentine Primera División.
