Born in the country's capital, Montevideo, Correa played six years with local River Plate (URU), moving in 1989 for another side in the city, national powerhouse Club Atlético Peñarol.
After just one season, he moved abroad, joining Spain's Real Murcia in the country's second division, and dropping down a level in his second year, due to irregularities.
In 1993, Correa moved straight into La Liga with Real Valladolid, his competition debut coming on September 5, in a 0–1 home loss against Sporting de Gijón; in the following four years, he would bounce back and forth between levels one and two with CP Mérida.
Correa signed with Sevilla FC in the 1998 summer, at the age of 30. In August of the following year, he suffered a serious Achilles tendon injury which would put him out of action for more than one year, after which he made a brief comeback with his fifth club in Spain, Hércules CF (third division), retiring shortly after.
In 2005, Correa started his coaching career, first with the youth sides then as assistant to former club Murcia. He coached the team for exactly one game in the 2005–06 season, before it appointed Sergije Krešić, with the Uruguayan returning to the youth levels.
For the next three years, Correa would coach in the lower leagues of Spain, being fired from Lorca Deportiva CF in mid-October 2008.
Correa made 19 appearances for Uruguay during two years, representing the nation at the 1990 FIFA World Cup (one match)[1] and the 1989 Copa América. His debut came on November 2, 1988, in a friendly with Chile; he was sent off in the 1–1 draw at Concepción.
