Shelbourne Sign Cliftonville Defender Odhran Casey in Reported Six-Figure Transfer

The 23-year-old moves into full-time football, with the clubs declining to disclose the fee.

Overview

  • Both clubs confirmed Casey’s move to Shelbourne, making him manager Joey O’Brien’s fifth signing of the window.
  • Media reports say the fee exceeds €100,000, which would be a first for a League of Ireland club if accurate, though the amount remains undisclosed officially.
  • Reporting indicates Cliftonville will receive £90,000 to £100,000 upfront with additional performance-related clauses.
  • Casey is a centre-back who can play in midfield, capped by Northern Ireland at under-21 level, and logged 143 senior appearances for Cliftonville.
  • He won the Irish Cup in 2024 and the BetMcLean Cup in 2025, returning strongly from a leg break, and says the move allows him to become a full-time professional.
