As a player, he was a midfielder who notably played in the Premier League for Tottenham Hotspur.

Club career

Caskey was born in Basildon, Essex.[1] A central midfielder, he started his career as a trainee at Tottenham Hotspur, but failed to live up to early potential.[2][3] He went on to have notable spells at Reading and Notts County, also playing for Peterborough United and Rushden & Diamonds,[4] where he scored once against Shrewsbury Town.[5] He ended his career as a player and assistant manager with Ilkeston Town, remaining in the same role with Ilkeston after the original club's liquidation.[6][7]

International career

He captained the England national under-18 team that won the 1993 UEFA European Under-18 Championship, scoring the winning penalty kick in the 1–0 victory against Turkey in the final.[8] He was capped by the England schools team.[1]

Coaching career

Caskey combined his playing duties with the role of assistant manager for Ilkeston Town and Ilkeston under manager Kevin Wilson.[6] In September 2013, he became assistant manager at Gateshead under Gary Mills.[9]

Caskey followed Mills to Wrexham on 1 June 2015, after compensation was agreed between the two clubs.[10] Caskey left the club on 26 October 2016, shortly after Mills was dismissed.[11] Caskey had already been assisting Mills after his appointment at York City, working without a title or a contract.[12] He eventually adopted the position of football consultant.[13] He was dismissed alongside Mills on 30 September 2017.[14]

Personal life

His son Jake Forster-Caskey plays for Stevenage, transferring from Charlton Athletic in January 2023.[15][16][17]
