Stevenage bring in Casey and Setford on loan

Stevenage have signed West Ham defender Kaelan Casey and Arsenal goalkeeper Tommy Setford on loan for the rest of the season.

Casey, 21, was a member of West Ham's 2023 FA Youth Cup-winning team and made his first-team debut in a Premier League game against Luton Town the following year.

He had two loan spells last season, firstly with Championship club Swansea City and then Leyton Orient in League One.

Casey made his second appearance for West Ham's senior team in their League Cup win at Southampton last month.

Meanwhile, Netherlands-born Setford, who has represented each of England's youth sides from Under-16 through to Under-21, joined Arsenal's academy from Ajax in 2024.

The 20-year-old has made two first-team appearances for Mikel Arteta's Gunners.
