“I have been a big fan of Seth these past several seasons and when I had the chance to get him I jumped on the opportunity right away,” said OCSC Head Coach, Braeden Cloutier. “He is a forward-thinking player with exceptional passing abilities that will compliment how we play and the players we have.”

Casiple, 26, spent his college career at the University of California at Berkeley, where he made 74 appearances with the Golden Bears scoring a total of six goals and 27 assists. Casiple came to Reno 1868 FC from Portland, in February 2017.

“I’m very excited to be joining OCSC and its community,” said Seth Casiple. “I can’t wait to join the group and get to work in Orange County. I think this is a great opportunity and I hope to make a positive impact on and off the field.”

Casiple was selected by the Portland Timbers in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft. After being released, Casiple signed on with Portland Timbers 2 of the USL. In his debut with the club, he assisted two goals in a 2-0 victory over Premier Development League club Michigan Bucks in the third round of the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.

Growing up Casiple played for Notts Forest FC and Placer United. Casiple also spent time with Austin Aztex, a former PDL team.
