Wilkin Omar Cavero Manzanilla (born on 24 March 1978) is a Peruvian professional footballer who played as forward.
Having come from Sport Boys, Cavero made his debut in the Peruvian first division on the 30th day of the 1996 championship in Sport Boys' 2–0 victory over Guardia Republicana.[1]
After some unsuccessful stints in the first division between 1996 and 2001, he signed with Deportivo Aviación (now Deportivo Coopsol) in 2002 in the second division. It was in the second division that he achieved his best results, finishing as top scorer twice: in 2003 with Olímpico Somos Perú (22 goals)[1] and in 2006 with Atlético Minero (16 goals).[2] He is also the all-time top scorer in the Peruvian second division with 76 goals scored in 10 seasons.[3]
In 2023, 11 years after his retirement from playing, Cavero returned to action, playing for Juventud Santa Rosa, a club participating in the Copa Perú.[4]
