Milton Joel Caraglio Pérez (born 1 December 1988) is an Argentine football forward that currently plays for Dorados.

Club career

Caraglio started his football career at Rosario Central youth, being promoted to the first team in 2007. He made his professional on 17 March against San Lorenzo de Almagro in a 1–0 home defeat and scored his first goal against Huracán during the 2008 Apertura. In the following two seasons, the striker scored seven goals in 29 games.

In July 2010, Caraglio joined West Ham United on trial,[1] making his debut on 28 July when he played for 64 minutes in a 2–0 win against MK Dons.[2] However, he failed to pass the stringent medical that West Ham put him through and he returned to Argentina.[3]

On 2 August 2011, Caraglio completed his move to Major League Soccer side New England Revolution as the team's first ever designated player.[4] After scoring three goals in 12 games at the American club, in December of the same year, he signed for Chilean Primera División club Rangers to play the 2012 Apertura Tournament.[5] In Rangers the Argentine forward was the team's top scorer of the season, with 16 goals in 37 games.

The striker played the 2013–14 Argentine Primera División season on loan for Arsenal de Sarandí, helping the team reach the quarterfinals of the 2014 Copa Libertadores. For the 2014–15 Argentine Primera División season, he was loaned from a third-party to Vélez Sarsfield for 18 months, with an option to buy of USD 1,2 million.[6] He debuted and scored his first goal for the team in the first fixture 1–0 win against Tigre.[7] Caraglio scored the first two goals of the 2015 Argentine Primera División, in Vélez' 2–0 victory over Aldosivi.[8]

International career

In May 2009, Caraglio was called by coach Diego Maradona for a national team formed exclusively with Argentine based players, to play a friendly against Panama. However, a knee injury forced him to leave the squad, and Esteban Fuertes was chosen as his substitute in his stead.[9]
