He began his senior career with Ipswich Town for whom he played from 2005 to 2009, during which time he participated in several loans. He played for Dundee from 2009 to 2010 and, in the 2010s, he played for Linfield and Portadown. He also played internationally for Northern Ireland between 2007 and 2009, primarily for the under-21 football team, and gained one full international cap in 2009.
Early life
Casement attended Newtownbreda High School in south Belfast.
Club career
After accomplished displays in the FA Cup, most notably against Swansea City and Watford in January 2007, Casement moved out on loan to Millwall for three months.[1] When he did finally join Millwall, he did not make an appearance during his month there.
In August 2008, he signed on loan with Hamilton Academical until January 2009. Chances were limited for Casement, and he returned to Ipswich having mainly been used as a substitute. On 7 January 2009, Casement signed on loan for League Two side Wycombe Wanderers for a month.[2] This loan deal was subsequently extended, firstly to two months, then to three months. Casement returned to Ipswich before being released on 8 May.
On 22 June, it was announced that he had signed a three-year deal with Scottish First Division side Dundee.[3]
On 31 January, Casement signed on loan for Linfield until the end of the season. On 4 May 2010, he was informed along with three other players that he was no longer wanted by Dundee and was free to look for another club.[4] On 8 May 2012, it was confirmed Casement had signed a three-year contract with Portadown. On 26 July 2016, it was announced that Portadown had accepted a bid in the region of £20,000 for Casement and it was announced later that he would be rejoining the Blues on a two-year contract.
On 30 September 2020, Casement signed for Stowmarket Town.[5] He was appointed manager of the club in February 2023.[6] In May 2023, he stepped down as manager to focus fully on the continuation of his playing career.[7]
In June 2023, Casement joined Leiston.[8]
In June 2024, Casement joined Isthmian League North Division side Ipswich Wanderers.[9]
International career
Casement was called up to the Northern Ireland squad in May 2009, along with nine other uncapped players for the international friendly against Italy on 6 June.[10] He made his international debut, along with seven other debutants, in the 3–0 defeat against Italy in the friendly match at Arena Garibaldi in Pisa.[11] Casement played the full match.[11]
