Born on the 29th of October, 1997 in the Republic of Ireland, Daniel 'Dan' Casey, age 27, hones his craft as a central defender for Scottish Premiership club, Motherwell FC. Casey stands at 6 feet (1.85 meters) tall and tips the scales at 13st 5lb (85 kilograms). On the pitch, he takes to the fray sporting jersey number 15.
The player's current market value is recorded to be approximately £338k, as reported on Transfermarkt. The future of Casey with Motherwell is a matter of speculation, with his contract due to run its course on the 31st of May 2025, which is only a brief 4 months away.
Casey's football journey began in earnest in July 2017, when he joined the Premier Division team Bohemian FC, based in his native Republic of Ireland. His debut season in 2017 with Bohemian, although short on appearances, saw him take the field four times. The 2018 season found him more familiar with the pitch, making 11 appearances and netting two goals. However, the year 2020 proved most fruitful, with 15 first team appearances under his belt.
An opportunity arose in January 2019, leading Casey to transfer from Bohemian FC to another Premier Division team in the Republic of Ireland, Cork City, for an undisclosed fee. During his stint at Cork City, Casey put his skills to good use, hence clocking in 29 first-team appearances and scoring a personal season best of three goals.
However, he was not to remain with Cork City for long. In January 2020, he transferred back to his former club, Bohemian FC, and made significant contributions in his return – including 15 first team appearances. A year on, in January 2021, Casey moved across the Atlantic to play for Sacramento Republic in the United Soccer League (USL), strengthening his worldwide footballing credentials.
Casey's globetrotting football career took yet another turn in February 2023 when he made the leap to Scottish football, transferring to Motherwell in the Premiership. He hasn't let this change of scene slow him down, making 62 first team appearances and contributing four goals over two and a half seasons. However, uncertainty looms as Casey's contract with Motherwell is set to expire soon.
Despite the ongoing speculations concerning his future, Casey has consistently performed for Motherwell in both the League Cup and the Scottish Cup for the 2024 - 2025 season, scoring one goal in seven starts in the former, and making a start in the latter. This well-rounded experience has crafted Casey into a resilient defender, fearlessly standing his ground, wherever it may be.
