Casey was born in Leeton in the Riverina region of New South Wales and attended St Patrick's College, Goulburn from 1950 to 1955, making the first XV at age 15. A goal-kicking fullback, Casey played first-grade for Sydney club St. George. [1]

Capped six times by the Wallabies, Casey debuted on the 1963 tour of South Africa, featuring in all three of the four Test matches. [2] He was one of Australia's best players in the 3rd Test at Ellis Park, with a drop goal, try and sideline conversion, helping them to a 11–9 win. [3] His other three caps came on the 1964 tour of New Zealand and he accumulated 11 points in a win over the All Blacks in Wellington. A knee injury caused him to withdraw from the 1966–67 tour of Britain and France, after he had been picked in the squad subject to fitness tests. [4]
