Cabezas began his career playing for Quequeisque's youth system, being considered a promising young defender. He played in Primera and Segunda division for Quequeisque. Cabezas was soon signed to a long term professional contract by Adler in 1964. This would hinder as Adler refused to play abroad despite interest from Club America, Toluca and a few clubs from Argentina. Cabezas was eventually able to move to FAS in 1971 and he stayed there until 1973 when he moved to Platense under the tutelage of Jorge Tupinambá. He stayed there until Tupinambá was released, then followed Tupinambá to Firpo and Dragon. He retired from football in 1976.[1]
