Template:Spanish name 2 Ángel Gastón Casas Jorge (born 10 January 1978) is an Argentine retired footballer who played as a striker.
Club career
Born in Buenos Aires, Casas started playing professionally with Club Atlético Huracán, moving in 2000 to Spain with Real Betis and helping the Andalusian team achieve promotion to La Liga in his first season. Due to the years spent in the latter country, he eventually gained dual nationality.[1]
In 2003 Casas 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 division with Recreativo de Huelva, Elche CF, Cádiz CF[2] and Córdoba CF.[3] In the 2005–06 campaign, he finished fifth in the topscorer's chart at 14 as the first club returned to La Liga after a three-year absence.[4]
In February 2009, after his release from Córdoba, Casas moved to Ionikos F.C. in the Greek second division. He scored on his debut, a 4–4 home draw against Olympiakos Volou FC.
On 29 August 2009, Casas moved teams again but stayed in the country, joining AE Larissa FC on a one-year contract. However, in January 2010, he returned to Argentina, signing with Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata on loan.[5]
