A composed and mature defender with great leadership qualities and superb versatility, Casey has proven herself for both club and country.

Still only 25 Casey already has plenty of winners’ medals to her name having played for Arsenal and Charlton Athletic.

Having replaced Rachel Unitt at half time in the final World Cup qualifier, Casey has made the left back position her own and was one of only four players to play every minute of England's World Cup campaign.

Casey was a member of the talented England U18 squad alongside the likes of Katie Chapman and Rachel Unitt. She immediately made the step-up to regular England squad member and has already broke through the 40 caps barrier.

Casey joined Charlton Athletic in the Summer of 2002 in the hope of gaining regular first-team football, which she has to good effect. She also enrolled at The FA’s national football academy – The FA National Player Development Centre at Loughborough University – to combine her studies with a football scholarship.

She led Charlton to success in The FA Nationwide Premier League Cup in March 2004, The FA Women’s Cup in May 2005 as Charlton beat Everton 1-0 and most recently the 2-1 victory over Arsenal in the 2006 FA Nationwide Women's Premier League Cup. 

Casey’s first and only goal for the senior squad came in the 4-0 victory over Portugal in the Algarve Cup in March 2005, a crisp half volley that marks her out as a danger attacking set pieces.
