One of the most decorated players in Rush history is calling it a career. Conor Casey is retiring at age 35.
Upon finishing his youth career at Colorado Rush and College at University of Portland (including a nation leading 23 goals as a Sophomore), Casey signed a pro contact with Borussia Dortmund of the German Bundesliga and spent 6 seasons in Germany. He then came to the MLS with the Colorado Rapids where he helped win the 2010 MLS Cup and was named MVP of the Championship game. Conor finished his Rapids career with a club record 54 goals and added another 21 during a three season stint with Philadelphia Union.
Perhaps Casey’s biggest soccer moment came with the US Men’s National team in 2009 when he scored 2 goals (in video below) in a 3-2 win over Honduras that ultimately clinched a World Cup birth for the 2010 Cup in South Africa.
Congratulations Conor on a wonderful career! Colorado Rush and Rush Nation wish you best of luck with your future ventures.
