Club career[edit]

Born in Martos, Jaén, Andalusia, Caballero made his senior debut with Martos CD in the 2013–14 season, in Tercera División. On 3 July 2014 he moved to Segunda División B side Real Balompédica Linense,[2] but on 28 August he joined fellow league team Lucena CF after cutting ties with the former.[3]

After being rarely used, Caballero left Lucena and returned to Martos on 28 December 2014.[4] The following 7 February, however, he signed for UD Ciudad de Torredonjimeno, both in the fourth division.[5] On 25 June 2015, he agreed to a contract with Atlético Mancha Real.[6]

On 20 January 2016 Caballero joined Elche CF, being assigned to the reserves still in the fourth tier.[7] On 15 April of the following year he made his first team debut, coming on as a second-half substitute for Armando in a 1–3 Segunda División home loss against CD Numancia.[8]

Caballero left the Franjiverdes in July 2017, and subsequently represented third division sides Rápido de Bouzas, CD Castellón and CD Badajoz, reaching the play-offs with the latter. On 21 August 2020, he agreed to a deal with CD Mirandés in the second tier.[9]

On 26 July 2021, free agent Caballero agreed to a contract with Primera División RFEF side UCAM Murcia CF.[10]

Personal life[edit]

Caballero's younger brother Raúl is also a footballer.[11] A forward, he played for Córdoba CF and UD Almería as a youth.
