Club career

Born in Zaragoza, Aragon, Caballero spent the vast majority of his career in the Segunda División B, appearing in 279 matches in representation of ten clubs, mainly FC Cartagena.[2] In the summer of 2002 he moved straight from the lower leagues to La Liga after leaving UE Figueres to sign with Sevilla FC, but he played understudy to Antonio Notario during his spell, his only competitive appearance arriving on 21 June 2003 (the last day of the season) in a 0–3 home loss against Valencia CF.[3]

Caballero retired in 2013 at the age of 35 shortly after being relegated from the third tier with Orihuela CF, who had released him midway through the campaign.[4][5] He also played two years in Chile, appearing for C.D. Cobreloa in the 2009 edition of the Primera División.[6][7]
