Agu Casmir (born 23 March 1984 in Lagos, Nigeria) is a professional soccer player who plays for Warriors F.C. and the Singapore national football team.
He took up Singapore citizenship in 2003.
In May 2008, rumours surfaced that an Indonesian club was interested in signing him. This comes 2 years after the controversial move to Persija Jakarta. But however, he signed for Malaysian Super-League side, PDRM FA. But just after 3 games, he was released, and Gombak United re-signed him.
He has previously played for S.League clubs Young Lions and Woodlands Wellington FC in Singapore's S.League,
Agu burst onto the football scene with Woodlands Wellington FC in 2002, scoring a remarkable 27 goals as an 18-year-old. He followed that up with another 15 goals the next year. In 2004 and 2005, playing for Young Lions, he scored a total of 31 goals. He returned to Woodlands Wellington FC last year and scored 17 times, before joining Gombak United FC at the start of the current 2007 S.League season.
On 19 September 2007, Agu Casmir's 86th-minute goal for the Gombak United FC, which cancelled out Home United FC Kone Hamed's 18th-minute opener, was his 100th in the S.League.
At the end of the 2007, Gombak United decided not to renew his contract and thus. Nevertheless, when the FIFA World Cup 2010 qualifier game against Lebanon loomed, he trained with one of his former club, Young Lions to keep his fitness at peak condition to be eligible for a call up to the national team.
