Club career

edit

Born in Rincón de la Victoria, Málaga, Andalusia, Caro joined Málaga CF's youth setup in 2011, from hometown side CD Rincón.[2] He made his senior debut with the reserves on 9 May 2021, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 3–0 Tercera División home win against CD Huétor Vega.[3]

Caro made his first team debut at the age of just 17 on 30 May 2021, replacing fellow youth graduate Juande late into a 3–0 home win against CD Castellón in the Segunda División championship.[4] On 31 August 2023, he was loaned to Betis Deportivo Balompié for one year, with a buyout clause.[5]

Upon returning from loan, Caro was deemed surplus to requirements, and terminated his contract with the Albicelestes on 10 August 2024.[6]
