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.
