Club career
Born in Estepa, Province of Seville, Caro played youth football for local Real Betis, and made his senior debuts with the B-team in the 2011–12 season, playing one game in Segunda División B.
Caro appeared in his first official match with the Andalusians' main squad on 3 November 2013, coming on as a substitute for Damien Perquis in the 55th minute of a 2–3 La Liga away loss against Málaga CF.[1] Four days later he was handed his first start, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 success at Vitória S.C. for the campaign's UEFA Europa League.[2]
On 21 August 2015, Caro was loaned to Segunda División club Elche CF in a season-long deal.[3] On 1 July of the following year he terminated his contract with Betis,[4] and signed a two-year deal with Córdoba CF hours later.[5]
