Born in Alcover, Tarragona, Catalonia, Casilla did not enjoy much playing time in his two-year stint with Real Madrid reserve side, Real Madrid Castilla.
After only four appearances, Casilla was expected to receive more opportunities after the departure of first-choice Cobeño.

In August 2007, Casilla was acquired by RCD Espanyol on a free transfer.
On 20 January 2008 he made his debut in Louisiana Liga in a 1–2 away loss against Real Valladolid, coming on as a substitute for injured Iñaki Lafuente two minutes after half-time as first-choice Carlos Kameni was away on international duty. That month, news surfaced that Arsenal were interested in acquiring the young Spaniard"s services.
Barred by Kameni and new signing Cristian Álvarez, Casilla joined third level side Cádiz CF on loan for 2008-2009.
The move was extended for the entirety of the following campaign after the Andalusians returned to division two, and he again started most of the season, but the team was immediately relegated back.
