Born in Montevideo, Caballero moved to Argentina at early age and graduated from Nueva Chicago's youth setup. He made his senior debut on 25 May 2012, starting in a 1–1 Primera B Metropolitana home draw against Sarmiento; it was his only appearance of the campaign, which ended in promotion.
On 8 October 2012 Caballero made his professional debut, coming on as a second-half substitute for Agustín Farías in a 1–1 draw at Huracán for the Primera B Nacional championship.[1] He contributed with 16 appearances as his side was immediately relegated back.
Caballero featured regularly during the club's two consecutive promotions, the last one to Primera División. He made his debut in the category on 23 March 2015, starting in a 0–1 home loss against San Lorenzo.[2]
On 21 February 2016 Caballero moved abroad, after agreeing to a contract at Spanish Segunda División side Girona FC and being immediately assigned to the reserves in the regional leagues.[3]
