Career & Clubs
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. 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.
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. Caceres' move to Melbourne City sparked some controversy given that transfer fees are not allowed to be paid directly between A-League clubs, and resulted in Football Australia creating the Caceres rule to block the practice in future.
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. 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. Caceres's loan to City was extended for successive years in both June 2016 and 2017.
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.
