Joins Getafe Casilla has signed a one-year contract with Getafe after leaving Leeds United as a free agent, the club announced Wednesday.

Impact Casilla kept three clean sheets and conceded 17 goals in 14 La Liga games last season while on-loan with Elche, but he lost the starting job to Edgar Badia in November. The 35-year-old Casilla now moves to Getafe for the upcoming campaign, where he will compete with David Soria between the posts.

Done at Leeds Casilla had his contract terminated early with Leeds United and has become a free agent.

Impact It wasn't the best tenure for Casilla, who went from being the regular for Leeds in 2019/20 to losing his job once they got to the Premier League and then being loaned out last season. He'll hope to latch on somewhere else and that will likely be in La Liga after he played at Real Madrid for a number of years before his move to Leeds.

One save in win Casilla made one save and one clearance during Sunday's 3-1 win over Getafe.

Impact Casilla made a single save during Sunday's 3-1 win. The keeper has mostly fallen out of favor with Edgar Badia taking the starting duty in most matches. That said the veteran still has something to offer the team and ended the season conceding two goals in the final two matches. Casilla will likely be back on the bench to start the 2022/23 campaign.

Makes three saves in loss Casilla made three saves and conceded one goal during Sunday's 1-0 loss against Celta Vigo,

Impact Casilla was back in the net for the first time since October and, despite being beaten with just nine minutes into the game, had a very good performance. If it wasn't for his difficult saves during the second half, the opposition could've scored much more than once. The veteran goalkeeper will hope this performance helps him to remain in the lineup for next Sunday's season finale against Getafe.

Concedes one in loss Casilla conceded one goal and made three saves during Sunday's 1-0 loss to Atletico Madrid.

Impact Casilla was never going to be the whole answer in Elche's goal to stay in La Liga for another season, but he's certainly made a difference with one goal conceded in two games. Should he even get a little bit of goalscoring support, look to Casilla as a potentially reliable asset over stretches of the coming months. Up next is a visit from Youssef En-Nesyri and Sevilla.
