Anthony Cáceres (born 29 September 1992) is an Australian player who plays as a central midfielder for Sydney FC on loan from Manchester City of the Premier League.

Career[]

Central Coast Mariners[]

Caceres made his A-League debut for the Central Coast Mariners in the F3 Derby against the Newcastle Jets, starting in a scoreless draw in January 2013. He scored his first goal for the club one year and two days later, again against the Jets, making a run from halfway and shooting from outside the area to open the scoring in a 3–0 win.

Manchester City[]

On 15 January 2016, Caceres was sold to Premier League club Manchester City on a long-term contract for fee in the region of AUS$300,000. He was immediately loaned out to their A-League partner, Melbourne City. Caceres' move to Melbourne City sparked some controversy, given that transfer fees are not allowed to be paid directly between A-League clubs.

Loan to Melbourne City[]

Caceres had a troubled start to life at City, receiving 2 red cards in his first 4 games, the second coming in the 79th minute of the Melbourne Derby.

Caceres scored his first goal for City coming off the bench in a 3-1 win over Brisbane Roar, with his headed goal putting City temporarily on top of A-League table.

Caceres's loan to City was extended for successive years in both June 2016 and 2017.

Al-Wasl[]

Caceres left Melbourne and moved on loan to Al-Wasl in July 2017, including an option for the UAE Arabian Gulf League side to purchase Caceres outright from Manchester City.

Second loan to Melbourne City[]

On 25 June 2018, Cáceres was loaned once more to Melbourne City for the 2018–19 A-League season. His loan was ended on 1 January 2019.

Loan to Sydney FC[]

On 1 January 2019, Cáceres was loaned to Sydney FC.

Personal life[]

He is the boyfriend of Western Sydney Wanderers FC W-League forward Helen Petinos, whom he met at Westfields Sports High School. Caceres is of Uruguayan descent.
