Corrigan first picked up his whistle at St Michael's College, Enniskillen in the 1980s and went on to become "synonymous with Gaelic football" there.[6] He led the college to a first Hogan Cup (All-Ireland) title in 2019.[7]
Corrigan also managed Fermanagh and Sligo during the 2000s.[3] He stepped down as Fermanagh manager in December 2003.[8] As a 41-year-old that year, he was the youngest inter-county manager on the scene.[9] He subsequently left his position as Sligo manager, due to difficult circumstances in 2006.[10]
