Left midfielder, Rodrigo Caetano was discovered by the youth teams of Grêmio FBPA.[1] He played for most of his career for teams in Rio Grande do Sul, but in 1992 he was part of the Mogi Mirim squad known as "carrosel caipira", alongside Rivaldo and Válber.[2] He experienced his best individual moment in 1996 playing for Juventude, signing a pre-contract with Compostela, but it ended up not being fulfilled due to an injury.[3][4]
