José Manuel Casado Bizcocho (born 9 August 1986) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a left-back.

Club career

Casado was born in Coria del Río, Province of Seville. After starting his youth career at Sevilla FC he finished it at FC Barcelona, only representing the Catalans' C team (soon to be extinct) and subsequently returning to his previous club, spending two seasons with reserves Sevilla Atlético in the Segunda División.[1]

A defensive stalwart for the B's, Casado also appeared twice for the main squad during 2007–08, the first being on 11 November 2007 in a 3–2 away loss against Villarreal CF. In the following years, after the latter's relegation, two consecutive La Liga loans ensued, both in Andalusia: first with Recreativo de Huelva,[2] where he played half of the season's matches, and newly promoted Xerez CD,[3] where he was featured more but ultimately met the same fate, relegation.

Casado was definitely released by Sevilla in July 2010, signing a two-year deal with Rayo Vallecano.[4] He was first choice in his debut campaign as the club returned to the top flight after an absence of eight years; he continued to start for the Madrilenians, collecting 29 yellow cards and two red over two seasons in the process.

On 29 September 2013, still recovering from a severe knee injury which prevented a move to Levante UD,[5] Casado signed a 2+3 contract with fellow league side Málaga CF.[6] He made his competitive debut on 8 February of the following year, playing the second half of the 4–1 away defeat to former club Rayo.[7]

Casado was transferred to UD Almería on 30 January 2015 after agreeing to an 18-month deal.[8] On 8 June, after their top-tier relegation, he was released.[9]

On 27 August 2015, Casado joined Championship side Bolton Wanderers on a free transfer, signing a one-year contract.[10] On 29 January of the following year, he left by mutual agreement.[11]

In late January 2017, after almost a year without a club, Casado moved to CD Numancia after a successful trial.[12]
