Career

[edit]

Caballero began in the youth of San Vicente de Pinamar in 1992, being on their books until 2001 when he joined Deportivo Pinamar.[2] He also had spells in Nueva Chicago and Deportivo Merlo's academies.[2][3] His senior career got going with Luján de Cuyo of Torneo Argentino B.[4] In 2010, Caballero signed for Torneo Argentino A's Juventud Unida Universitario.[4] He netted goals against Alumni, Deportivo Maipú and Rivadavia across two seasons.[1] Deportivo Maipú signed him on 30 June 2012.[1] He scored six in thirty-three appearances in 2012–13; he was sent off in his final game versus Santamarina in June 2013.[1]

In 2013, Caballero moved to Independiente Rivadavia.[1] His pro debut came on 13 August versus Gimnasia y Esgrima.[1] After one goal in forty-five matches in all competitions for Independiente Rivadavia, Caballero departed on 12 January 2015 to play for ex-club Nueva Chicago of the Argentine Primera División.[1] He made eight top-flight appearances in the 2015 campaign as the club were relegated to Primera B Nacional.[1] January 2016 saw Caballero leave Argentine football by signing for Paraguayan Primera División side Sol de América.[1] His stay lasted seven months, with Caballero appearing in fifteen fixtures.[1]

He sealed a return to Argentina with Guillermo Brown on 6 July 2016.[1] A further move to third tier UAI Urquiza followed a year later.[1] Defensores de Belgrano became Caballero's ninth senior club in 2018.[1] Having been an unused substitute eight times in the months prior, he made his bow for them on 12 November against Quilmes.[1]
