Football career

Casado was born in Coria del Río, Province of Seville. After starting his football formation at Sevilla FC he finished it at FC Barcelona, only representing the Catalans' C-team (soon to be extinct) and subsequently returning to his previous club, appearing two seasons for reserves Sevilla Atlético in Segunda División.

A defensive stalwart for the B's Casado also appeared twice for the main squad during 2007–08 campaign, the first being on 11 November 2007 in a 2–3 away loss against Villarreal CF. In the following two years, after the B-side's relegation, two consecutive La Liga loans ensued, both in Andalusia: first with Recreativo de Huelva,[1] where he played in half of the season's matches, and newly promoted Xerez CD,[2] where he appeared more but ultimately met the same fate, relegation.

In July 2010 Casado was definitely released by Sevilla, signing a two-year deal with Rayo Vallecano.[3] He was first-choice in his debut campaign as the club returned to the top flight after an absence of eight years; he continued to start for the Madrid side in the following two years, collecting 29 yellow cards and two red in the process.

On 29 September 2013, still recovering from a severe knee injury which prevented a move to Levante UD,[4] Casado signed a 2+3 contract with fellow top-divisioner Málaga CF.[5] He made his debut for his new club on 8 February of the following year, playing the second half of the 1–4 away loss against former club Rayo.[6]

On 30 January 2015 Casado was transferred to fellow league team UD Almería, after agreeing to a 18-month deal.[7] On 8 June, after the club's relegation, he was released.[8]

On 27 August 2015, Casado joined Championship side Bolton Wanderers on a free transfer, signing a one-year year deal.[9] On 29 January of the following year, he left by mutual agreement.[10]
