Grimsby Town
Cas returned to the Netherlands for pre season training, but began to talk to several clubs back in England, and this was eventually confirmed when it was announced that he had flew into Humberside Airport in June 2003 to sign a 1 year contract with Grimsby Town, where he joined Tony Crane as the clubs first new signings for the 2003-2004 season. Despite being signed as a right sided midfielder, a position he had played in all his career, he would eventually come to a disagreement with manager Paul Groves who preferred to play him at right-back, whilst Jason Crowe a natural of that position was played in Cas's favoured slot. This was something that unsettled Cas who eventually fell out with Groves, thus paving the way for his departure from Blundell Park in January 2004.
Upon his departure Cas commented "Im a midfielder...not a defender" to the media in relation to his spat with Groves that had effectivley ended his time at Grimsby.

Famous quotes containing the word town:
“All of childhood’s unanswered questions must finally be passed back to the town and answered there. Heroes and bogey men, values and dislikes, are first encountered and labeled in that early environment. In later years they change faces, places and maybe races, tactics, intensities and goals, but beneath those penetrable masks they wear forever the stocking-capped faces of childhood.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
