Odhrán Casey, born on 9 April 2002 (age 24), is a Northern Irish central defender now with Shelbourne. His career has been shaped far more by steady senior football than by noise, which is no bad thing for a centre-half still in his early twenties.
His early loan football gave him the useful basics: minutes, contact, and the usual education that does not tend to arrive in tidy coaching-manual form. Cliftonville then became the main stretch of his career. Across four seasons there, Casey made 96 league appearances and scored five league goals, establishing himself as a regular rather than a passing squad name.
The 2023-24 season was his strongest in front of goal, with three goals in 33 league appearances for Cliftonville. That spell remains the clearest marker of where he has done most of his growing as a senior player.
Casey moved on to Shelbourne, where he is primarily used as a central defender. In 2026, he has made four Premier Division appearances for the Dublin club.
His career to this point is straightforward enough: early development through senior football, a substantial Cliftonville spell, and a newer challenge with Shelbourne.
