Contents

He spent most of his career with Sporting de Gijón, appearing in 183 competitive games over the course of seven seasons (four in La Liga). [1]

Career

Sporting Gijón

Born in Gijón, Asturias, Cases was a product of Sporting de Gijón's prolific youth academy, Mareo. He made it to the B team during the 2006–07 season, with them playing in the Tercera División; although he proved instrumental in helping to achieve promotion one year later, he struggled for a place in the starting line-ups the following years. [2]

It was not until the 2010–11 campaign, at the age of 23 years – and acting as captain with the reserves – that Cases was finally given his chance to make his first-team debut, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Racing de Santander on 9 January 2011. [3] On 2 April, he assisted Miguel de las Cuevas in the 79th minute of a 1–0 win over Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, thus ending José Mourinho's nine-year unbeaten home league record. [4] He finished his first season as a professional with 18 La Liga appearances, in an escape from relegation, [5] having scored his first goal in the top flight on 15 January 2011 in the 2–0 home defeat of Hércules CF. [6]

AEK Larnaca

On 22 June 2017, 29-year-old Cases announced he was leaving Sporting Gijón and bring to an end a 23-year association with the same club. [7] Shortly after, he joined a host of compatriots at Cyprus' AEK Larnaca FC. [8]
