Canadian centre Gabe Casey played in Major League Rugby during the 2024 season. He represented the New England Free Jacks (2024) and the Utah Warriors (2025).

A native of Ottawa, ON, Gabe Casey has the rare distinction of having been drafted into MLR twice. He was initially drafted in the 3rd Round (31st overall) of the 2022 MLR Collegiate Draft by the Toronto Arrows, but opted to return to play with the University of Victoria Vikes in British Columbia. He was drafted again in 2023 by the New England Free Jacksin the 1st Round (13th Overall), whom he represented in 2024. He is the only player in MLR history to have been selected in 2 MLR Collegiate Drafts (2022 & 2023). Casey was selected as part of the Canada squad for their August tour of Tonga, where he earned his international debut on August 10th, 2023.

Following his 2nd successful MLR Draft in 2023, the announcement of Gabe Casey’s official signing with the New England club came on 25th October 2023, along with the signing of Killian Coghlan and fellow draftee Junior Gafa. The day after his signing was announced, Casey was included in the Canada squad for their November tests in Spain. Casey earned just 1 appearance for the Free Jacks in the shield-winning 2024 season, coming off the bench and making a pair of tackles. His season was affected by injury, as well as a deep Free Jacks squad at centre. On October 28th, 2024, the Utah Warriors announced the signing of Casey for the 2025 MLR season. The MLR Trade Wire shows that the Utah Warriors acquired Casey via trade with the New England Free Jacks in exchange for 2025 Salary Cap Considerations, but this trade was dated October 31st, 2024. Three days after the Warriors announced his signing.

Now with the Utah Warriors, Casey earned a pair of appearances off the bench during the Warriors’ best-ever season, finishing as the top team during the regular season and advancing to the Western Conference Final, where they fell to the Houston SaberCats. Casey gained 20m in his two appearances.
