Playing career[]

Casey began his career by captaining the Macroom minor team to the County Championship title in 1935. He quickly joined the club's senior side, however, he transferred for a short while to Clonakilty and won back-to-back County Championship titles in 1943 and 1944. By this stage, Casey was a regular with the Cork senior football team, having made his debut at centre-back in 1940. He won his first Munster Championship title in 1943. Casey claimed a second provincial winners' medal in 1945 before ending the season with an All-Ireland medal after a defeat of Cavan in the final.[2][3][4] He added a Railway Cup medal to his collection in 1946. Casey's inter-county career ended in 1947, however, he continued to line out at club level with the Macroom junior team until the 1950s.[citation needed]
