Darren Mark Caskey (born 21 August 1974) is an English former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

Club career[]

Caskey was born in Basildon, Essex.[1] A central midfielder, he started his career as a trainee at Tottenham Hotspur, but failed to live up to early potential.[2][3] He went on to have notable spells at Reading and Notts County, also playing for Peterborough United and Rushden & Diamonds,[citation needed] where he scored once against Shrewsbury Town.[4]

International career[]

He captained the England national under-18 team that won the 1993 UEFA European Under-18 Championship, scoring the winning penalty kick in the 1–0 victory against Turkey in the final.[5] He was capped by the England schools team.[1]

Coaching career[]

Prior to joining Gateshead, Caskey played in the Northern Premier League First Division South for Ilkeston Town.[citation needed] He was also assistant manager alongside Kevin Wilson.[citation needed]

Caskey followed manager Gary Mills to Wrexham on 1 June 2015 to be his assistant, after compensation was agreed between the two clubs.[6] Caskey left the club on 26 October 2016, shortly after Mills was dismissed.[7] Caskey had already been assisting Mills after his appointment at York City, working without a title or a contract.[8] He eventually adopted the position of football consultant.[9] He was dismissed alongside Mills on 30 September 2017.[10]

Personal life[]

His son Jake plays for Charlton Athletic, transferring from Brighton & Hove Albion in January 2017.[11][12]
