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.

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]
