Ángel Gastón Casas Jorge (born 10 January 1978 in Buenos Aires) is an Argentine footballer who plays for Defensores de Belgrano as a striker.
[edit] Club career
Casas started playing professionally with Club Atlético Huracán, moving in 2000 to Spain, with Real Betis, helping the Andalusians achieve top flight promotion in his first season. Due to his years spent in Spain, he eventually gained dual nationality.[citation needed]
In 2003, he returned to Argentina, representing Racing Club de Avellaneda and Argentinos Juniors, but made the switch back to Spain two years later, consecutively playing in the country's second level with Recreativo de Huelva, Elche CF, Cádiz CF and Córdoba CF. In 2005–06, he finished fifth in the topscorer's chart at 14, as Recre returned to La Liga after a three-year absence.
In February 2009, after his release from Córdoba, Casas moved to Ionikos FC, in the Greek second division. He scored on his debut, against Olympiakos Volou.
On 29 August 2009, Casas moved teams again, but stayed in the country, joining Larissa F.C. on a one-year contract; however, in January 2010, he returned to Argentina, joining Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata on loan.[1]
