David Cassidy began his career in Ireland with local team Cambridge, before moving on to Home Farm.
From there, he transferred to Derby County in July of 2002 before returning home to sign for Pat Scully at Kilkenny City in July 2005.
When Scully took over the reins at newly relegated Shamrock Rovers in 2006, he took David with him. David spent two years at Rovers and played in all but three of the their league matches as they took the 2006 First Division title by a point from Dundalk.
He then helped the Hoops to a fifth place finish in the Premier Division the following season before signing for Dundalk prior to the start of the 2008 season. He made his competitive debut for the Louth club away to Shelbourne on 7 March 2008, and scored his first goal for the Lillywhites in the 3-0 home win over Monaghan United six days later.
He joined Shels at the start of the 2009 season and made his competitive debut on March 6th against Wexford Youths in Tolka Park.
Cassidy made 27 league starts and scored six goals for Shelbourne in Division One of the Airtricity League in 2010, winning both the Supporters’ and the players’ Player of the Year awards.
The Dublin born player made 30 league starts, scoring fifteen times for Shels in the First Division of the Airtricity League in 2011 as he helped the Reds to promotion. He also captained his side in their FAI Cup Final defeat by Sligo Rovers at the Aviva Stadium.
