La'Vere Lawrence Corbin-Ong (born 22 April 1991) is a Malaysian professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Malaysia Super League side Johor Darul Ta'zim and the Malaysia national team.

He was born in London, England, where his parents, Lawrence Corbin (English) and Elizabeth Ong (Malaysian Chinese), were studying psychiatry and nursing respectively. Corbin-Ong was one year old when his family moved to Edmonton, the capital city of Alberta. When he was four years of age, his family moved to North Vancouver, where he was raised.[3]

He played a variety of sports in his youth, including football, lacrosse, gridiron football and tennis. Corbin-Ong was six years old when he started playing football for the Diamond Backs in Lynn Valley, a neighbourhood in North Vancouver.[4]

He played for Capilano University in Canada for a season after high school, then joined Major League Soccer side Vancouver Whitecaps at the age of 19.

International[]

Corbin-Ong was born in London to a Barbados' Bajan father and a Malaysian Chinese mother, but moved to Canada at the age of one and is therefore eligible to play for Canada, England, Barbados and Malaysia internationally.[10]
