Club career edit

Born in Lora del Río, Province of Seville, Corona played first as a professional for his hometown club Sevilla FC, but only appeared in 20 games in almost four years with the first team, and just three in La Liga.[1] Subsequently, from January 2000 to June 2006, he would be a defensive mainstay in the Segunda División, with Albacete Balompié, CD Tenerife and Real Murcia.

In 2007, Corona signed with SD Huesca of Segunda División B, being an essential member as the Aragonese side promoted in his first year, a first-ever for them, and continuing to be a starter the following seasons (never less than 28 league appearances). Over the course of 13 campaigns in the second tier, he played 358 matches and scored 12 goals.[2]

The 36-year-old Corona returned to division three in the summer of 2012, joining CD Leganés.[3]
