Club career

Brøndby

At the age of 18, Corlu was moved to the first team squad in the summer 2015.[1]

Corlu made his debut for Brøndby on 2 July 2015,[2] starting on the bench, but replacing Lebogang Phiri in the 63rd minute in a 9–0 victory against Sammarinese club Juvenes/Dogana in the Europa League qualification. He also scored the 8th goal of the 9–0 victory, netting in the 66th minute.[3] He made his debut in the Danish Superliga a few weeks later, on 26 July 2015, in a match against OB. Corlu came on in the 67nd minute, replacing Andrew Hjulsager. A month later, in August 2015, Corlu played a reserve match for Brøndby against F.C. Copenhagen, where he tore a ligament in his knee, keeping him out for the entirety of the 2015–16 season.[4]

Roma

On 1 August 2017, Corlu signed for Italian club Roma.[5] Here, he was initially placed in the under-19 team. After one season in Roma without any first-team appearances, Corlu joined Danish second tier club Lyngby Boldklub on a one-year loan deal on 5 July 2018.[6]

Return to Brøndby

On 21 June 2019, Corlu signed with his former club, Brøndby IF, and was loaned out directly to Lyngby again, who meanwhile had achieved promotion to the Danish Superliga.[7] After an impressive first half of the 2019–20 season, Brøndby extended his contract one extra year, until 2023.[8]

Corlu returned to Brøndby on 3 August 2020, receiving the number 7 upon his return.[9]

Personal life

Corlu was born in Denmark and is of Kurdish descent.[10] His parents are from a Kurdish town in Central Anatolia.[11] He is the younger brother of former footballer Azad Corlu, who also played for Brøndby IF besides AB, FC Roskilde and Hvidovre IF.
