Jorge Luis Corrales
Club career

Corrales began his career in 2009, playing for FC Pinar del Río in his hometown of Pinar del Río. He was the captain of FC Pinar del Río from 2011 until 2015, when he was loaned to FC Sancti Spíritus. Corrales was named Pinar del Río's MVP in the 2012, 2013, and 2014 seasons. He tallied 20 assists and 6 goals during his more than 80 appearances for FCPR.

In 2015, Corrales obtained a US Visa from the U.S. Embassy in Havana and arrived in Miami to visit family and friends. Corrales joined amateur Miami-based Fortuna SC in October 2015. Fortuna SC had a strong Cuban contingent and included full Cuban senior international players Ariel Martinez and Dario Suarez, and under-23 internationals Brian Rosales, Frank Lopez Garcia and Yendry Torres.

While in Miami, he decided to initiate the necessary legal proceedings to obtain a work permit and legally live in the United States to pursue a professional soccer career. Following a successful tryout with Miami FC, he signed for the newly created team in January 2016. He joined Fort Lauderdale Strikers in June the same year.
