Perspective
Born in London in February 2008,[3] Casey joined the youth set-up at Crystal Palace at under-9 level and played as Palace reached the under-11 national final for the first time in the club history. He made his Crystal Palace U18 debut in March 2024, in a Premier League Cup semi-final against Manchester United U18. His first U18 goal followed the following week against Arsenal U18.[4][5] In July 2024, Casey signed a scholarship deal with Crystal Palace prior to the start of the 2024–25 season.[3][6]
Casey scored 12 goals as a first-year scholar for Crystal Palace Under-18s in the 2024–25 season, before scoring a further 11 goals in seven appearances at the start of the 2025–26 season, prior to signing a first professional contract with the club.[7]
Casey made his professional debut for Crystal Palace appearing as a second half substitute for Justin Devenny in the UEFA Conference League on 11 December 2025, in a 3–0 away win for Palace against Irish club Shelbourne.[8] Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner when asked about Casey's first-team debut said “He's doing very well in our youth team. He's scoring goals, he's got a great profile, he's got a pace, and that's why he deserves it". Casey was quoted as saying “It was a great day. It was something that I've been dreaming about my whole life".[3]
