Career edit

Cassara trained as a youth with the training centres of Lyon and Saint-Étienne, then playing a season in the French fifth tier with Vénissieux before moving to Belgium for a season with RWS Bruxelles. Returning to France without a club, he eventually signed for Lyon-Duchère. He was first choice in the team which won promotion from to the Championnat National in 2016–17, and a good season in the higher level earned him a move to Ligue 2 side Gazélec Ajaccio in the summer of 2017.[2][3]

Cassara made his debut at the professional level for Gazélec Ajaccion in a Coupe de la Ligue tie against US Créteil-Lusitanos on 8 August 2017.[4]

In May 2020, Cassara signed for Bourg-en-Bresse.[5]
