English shooter who won Commonwealth Games gold in 2018 before switching allegiance to Barbados, becoming a rare athlete to represent two nations at netball's highest level.
Kadeen Corbin was born on 27 November 1991 in London, the younger sister of fellow England international Sasha Corbin and cousin of Olympic relay medallist Asha Philip. She began her career at Team Bath in 2009, winning her first Netball Super League title in 2013, before joining her sister at Hertfordshire Mavericks and reaching a further Grand Final in 2015. Corbin made her senior England debut against New Zealand in 2011 and went on to earn over 70 caps, playing at the 2014 Commonwealth Games where England finished fourth, before being part of the historic squad that won gold at the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast. She also spent a season with New Zealand's Mainland Tactix in 2017, and reached her 50th England cap in November 2017 after a player-of-the-match display against Malawi. In 2023, Corbin switched international allegiance to Barbados, playing alongside her sister Sasha at that year's World Cup in Cape Town — becoming a rare case of a player representing two different nations at netball's top level within a single career. She returned to Team Bath in 2023 as both a player and technical coach, playing in the club's final-ever Super League match in 2024 before the franchise lost its Super League contract, and has since moved into coaching, including work at The Forest School and with London Pulse's youth teams.
