Between 2006 and 2012, he played in the Segunda División B for Atlético Madrid B, San Fernando, Puertollano, Lorca Atlético, Almeria B (loan) and Conquense.
In the summer of 2012 he joined Moldovan National Division side Milsami Orhei, playing in the Moldovan Super Cup final win over Sheriff Tiraspol, as well as 90 minutes of the 4-2 UEFA Europa League home win over Aktobe,[2] and the subsequent away leg 0-3 defeat that eliminated the Moldovan side 4-5 on aggregate.[3]
In July 2013, he was on trial at Barnet in the Conference Premier, with compatriot Luisma Villa.[4] Both players had their signings confirmed on 3 August 2013.[5] Casabella played frequently at the start of the season, but struggled with injuries from October onwards. After 12 appearances in all competitions, all but one in the league, he was released on 14 April 2014.[6]
