Coburn was born in Christchurch and educated there at Shirley Boys' High School.[2] A left-arm wrist-spin bowler, he has an unusual bowling action. His torso rotates downward and his head gets below 90 degrees when releasing the ball.[3]
He made his first-class debut for Canterbury in the 2017–18 Plunket Shield season on 23 October 2017.[4] In November 2017, in his second match, he took 7 for 64 in the second innings to lead Canterbury to victory over Northern Districts by 8 runs.[5][6] He made his Twenty20 debut for Canterbury in the 2017–18 Super Smash on 17 December 2017.[7]
He made his List A debut for Canterbury in the 2018–19 Ford Trophy on 7 November 2018.[8] After some time out of the Canterbury team, he was awarded a contract for the 2022–23 season.[3]
