Career
Karaca was born in Paal, Belgium to ethnic Azerbaijani parents originally from Iğdır, Turkey.[4]
He can play as an attacking midfielder or as a striker. Karaca spent the second half of the 2007-2008 season on loan at Yeni Kırşehirspor in TFF Second League. He also spent a few weeks on trial with Galatasaray during the winter break of 2002-03 season.[5]
Karaca is a product of the Anderlecht youth system. However, he could never make it to the big scene so far although he was capped several times for Turkish national football team in youth levels.
In early August 2011 Karaca has been on trial at newly promoted Serbian SuperLiga club FK Novi Pazar.[6]
After a small period in Luxemburg First Division sides Dudelange and Wiltz he cames back to Belgian 4th Division side R. Olympic Charleroi at mid-season 2012-2013.
