Career

Calero started with Newell's Old Boys from 1993, though never made a senior appearance.[3] He moved to Uruguay with Nacional in 2005 and, months later, Durazno.[1] He scored eight goals in twenty fixtures for the latter in the Segunda División in 2008.[4][5] The aforementioned year saw Calero join La Liga side Atlético Madrid B; though he wouldn't feature competitively.[1] Further stints in Europe occurred with Zürich (Switzerland) and 1860 Munich (Germany), prior to Calero returning to Argentina with Primera D Metropolitana's Argentino.[1] Twenty-three games and two goals followed.[4] Estudiantes of Torneo Argentino B signed Calero in June 2011.[1]

After just two appearances for Estudiantes, Calero went back to Spanish football with Real Zaragoza B; and subsequently Villarreal B.[1][4] In the following six months from August 2013, Calero spent time with fellow lower league teams Sariñena and Robres.[1][6][7] In 2014, Calero joined Peruvian Segunda División side Alfonso Ugarte.[8][9] He scored eight goals in a few months with the club.[1] On 14 August, Kissamikos of the Gamma Ethniki in Greece became Calero's fourteenth senior team.[1] Seven goals in fourteen fixtures soon arrived in 2014–15 as they won promotion to tier two.[1] Calero left in 2015, securing a deal with Lebanon's Ansar.[1][10][11]

Calero joined Ironi Kiryat Shmona in mid-2015 in Israel, though only played in the Toto Cup against Maccabi Haifa in October.[1][12] Moves to Rio Claro, Rangers and Unión Rosario came in 2016.[13][14][15][16] Aucas of the Ecuadorian Serie B agreed terms with Calero in early 2017.[13][17][18] He netted once over Imbabura, on the way to promotion.[1][19] Calero had a spell in Angola with Kabuscorp in 2018, before moving to the United States with El Farolito of the NPSL.[20][21][22][23] He appeared in games with Academica, FC Davis and East Bay FC Stompers in his opening months, alongside an eleven-minute cameo in the U.S. Open Cup versus Fresno FC.[1]

To end 2019, Calero had a stint in the Ecuadorian Serie B with Cumbayá FC.[2]
