Jorge Darío Cáceres Ovelar (born 26 January 1998) is a Paraguayan professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Defensa y Justicia.[2]
After arriving in Argentina from Paraguay with his father in 2008, Cáceres soon joined San Lorenzo's youth ranks which preceded Lanús signing him in 2013.[3] Cáceres remained in their system for five years, notably featuring for the U20s at the 2016 U-20 Copa Libertadores, before being promoted into the Argentine Primera División club's first-team during the 2017–18 campaign.[2][4] Having been an unused substitute versus Racing Club on 16 February 2018, Cáceres eventually made his professional debut a week later against Rosario Central.[2][5] Three subsequent appearances followed.[2]
On 3 January 2020, Cáceres returned to Paraguay and joined River Plate on a one-year loan with no option to buy.[6] On 1 February 2021, he was then loaned out to Alvarado until the end of 2021.[7] For the 2022 season, he was loaned out to Ferro Carril Oeste.[8]
