Antonio Casado Ruiz (born 20 March 1961) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a midfielder.
He played seven seasons in La Liga, all with Betis.
Football career
Born in Huelva, Andalusia, Casado made his professional debuts with Real Betis in 1981, playing in five La Liga games in his first season and scoring in a 2–1 away win against RCD Español. In the following five top flight campaigns he was an important first-team member, never appearing in less than 20 matches and adding three UEFA Cup appearances during his stint with the club.
In the 1987 summer, after featuring rarely for the Verdiblancos in his last two seasons, Casado joined neighbours Recreativo de Huelva in the second division, playing four years with the team and being relegated in his third.
In the second level, Ruiz also played with Écija Balompié (two seasons in the category, seven overall), suffering another relegation in 1997. He retired in June 1999 at the age of 38, after a one-year spell with amateurs Dos Hermanas CF.
