Career

Central Coast Mariners

Caceres made his A-League debut for the Central Coast Mariners in the F3 Derby against the Newcastle Jets, starting in a scoreless draw in January 2013. [1] He scored his first goal for the club one year and two days later, again against the Jets, making a run from halfway and shooting from outside the area to open the scoring in a 3–0 win. [2]

Manchester City

On 15 January 2016, Caceres was sold to Premier League club Manchester City on a long-term contract for fee in the region of AUS$300,000. He was immediately loaned out to their A-League partner, Melbourne City. [3] Caceres' move to Melbourne City sparked some controversy, given that transfer fees are not allowed to be paid directly between A-League clubs. [4]

Loan to Melbourne City

Caceres had a troubled start to life at City, receiving 2 red cards in his first 4 games, the second coming in the 79th minute of the Melbourne Derby. [5]

Caceres scored his first goal for City coming off the bench in a 3–1 win over Brisbane Roar, with his headed goal putting City temporarily on top of A-League table. [6]

Caceres's loan to City was extended for successive years in both June 2016 and 2017. [7] [8]

Loan to Al-Wasl

Caceres left Melbourne and moved on loan to Al-Wasl in July 2017, including an option for the UAE Arabian Gulf League side to purchase Caceres outright from Manchester City. [9]

Second loan to Melbourne City

On 25 June 2018, Caceres was loaned once more to Melbourne City for the 2018–19 A-League season. [10] His loan was ended on 1 January 2019. [11]

Sydney FC

On 1 January 2019, Caceres was loaned to Sydney FC. [12] At the end of his contract Caceres returned to Manchester City and was then signed permanently by Sydney FC on a two-year deal. [13]

Personal life

He is married to Melbourne City FC W-League forward Helen Petinos (married on 2 June 2018), whom he met at Westfields Sports High School. [14] [15] Caceres is of Uruguayan descent and Nacional supporter as he shows in his Instagram. [16]

They are the first husband and wife, to play at the same club in the A-League and the affiliated W-League (Australia). [17]
