On 9 June 2022, after scoring 17 goals as the Blanquiverdes achieved promotion to Primera Federación, Casas renewed his contract until 2025.[5] He was also the club's top scorer in the 2023–24 campaign, netting 15 times overall and promoting to Segunda División.

Casas made his professional debut on 16 August 2024, coming on as a second-half substitute for Nikolay Obolskiy in a 1–0 away loss to CD Mirandés.[6]
