Cornwall began his career with the youth side for St Patrick's Athletic, before moving to Shelbourne in the summer of 2012.[1] [2] In 2013, he played with Shelbourne's first team, making 22 appearances.

In 2014, Cornwall moved to Shamrock Rovers, also spending time on loan with Derry City in 2015.[3]

He moved to Bohemians in December 2016, going on to spend five years with the Bohs and making 130 appearances for the club in all competitions.[4]

In December 2021, it was announced Cornwall would move to the United States to sign with third-tier USL League One side Northern Colorado Hailstorm ahead of their inaugural season in 2022.[5] [6]

On 28 December 2023, it was announced that Cornwall would be returning to Bohemians ahead of their 2024 season.[7] On 16 February 2024, Cornwall was substituted off in the first game of the season against Sligo Rovers after suffering an Anterior cruciate ligament injury that would rule him out of action for a long term period.[8]
