Dan Casey was living the American dream when he tucked Javier Hernandez in his back pocket as Sacremento Republic dumped LA Galaxy en-route to September’s US Open Cup Final.
The Irishman kept Chicharito firmly in check in the quarter final crunch before doing a similar number on former Scotland ace Johnny Russell and Sporting Kansas City in the semis.
The giantkilling run ended with a 3-0 defeat to Orlando City in September’s final in Florida. But just a few months on from shackling some of the biggest names in the MLS the defender is now focused on becoming an ML success.
Casey has swapped the California sunshine for the cold reality of a Motherwell scrap for survival and today faces a bruising challenge against Jordan White and Eamonn Brophy in Dingwall.
