Horacio Gabriel Carabajal (born 9 December 1991) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Liga MX club Puebla, on loan from Brazilian club Santos.[2]

Career

Early career

Born in Lozada, Province of Córdoba, Carabajal played youth and amateur football for local side Club Atlético Central Río Segundo and Club Mitre de Pérez[3] before receiving an offer from Colombian Categoría Primera B side Patriotas in 2009. He made his senior debut for the club during the season, and scored his first senior goal on 25 March of that year, netting through a penalty in a 3–2 away loss against Atlético Bucaramanga.[4]

Talleres

Upon returning to Argentina, Carabajal remained four months without a club[5] before going on a trial period at Talleres.[6] He was unable to play for a period, after having troubles with his documentation, and only made his debut for the side on 4 September 2011, in a 3–1 home win over Sportivo Belgrano.[6][5] He scored his first goal for the side three days later, in a Copa Argentina 4–1 home success over General Paz Juniors.[7]

Carabajal scored his first league goal for Talleres on 11 March 2012, netting his team's second in a 4–1 home routing of Douglas Haig.[8] He was a regular starter in the club's promotion campaign to the Primera B Nacional, being close to a move to Godoy Cruz in July 2013.[9]

Loan to Universidad San Martín

On 23 January 2015, Carabajal joined Universidad San Martín of the Peruvian Primera División on loan.[10] His debut for Universidad San Martín occurred on 7 February, in a Torneo del Inca win against Juan Aurich,[11] while his league debut came on 2 May, in a 1–1 away draw against Melgar.

Carabajal left the club in December 2015, after one goal in 30 appearances.

Godoy Cruz

On 3 January 2016, Carabajal moved to Godoy Cruz in the Argentine Primera División on loan for 18 months.[12] He started his career at the club by scoring twice in seven appearances, before being sidelined for two months due to an injury.[13]

On 4 August 2016, Carabajal signed for the club permanently after Fernando Godoy moved in the opposite direction.[14]

Loan to San Martín de San Juan

On 23 July 2017, after losing his starting spot at Godoy Cruz, Carabajal joined fellow top-tier club San Martín de San Juan on loan.[15]

Patronato

On 22 June 2018, Carabajal signed for Patronato, also in the first division.[16] He scored a career-best six goals for the side during the season, as the club avoided relegation.

Unión Santa Fe

On 4 July 2019, Carabajal agreed to a three-year contract with Unión de Santa Fe, with the club acquiring 50% of his economic rights.[17]

Argentinos Juniors

On 17 February 2021, after just five matches in the previous campaign, Carabajal joined Argentinos Juniors on loan until December.[18] A regular starter, he was bought outright by the club on 19 December, for a US$ 500,000 fee.[19]

Santos

On 12 August 2022, Carabajal was announced at Campeonato Brasileiro Série A side Santos, signing a four-year contract,[20] for a rumoured fee of US$ 1.5 million.[21] He made his debut for the club ten days later, starting in a 1–0 home win over São Paulo.[22]

Carabajal scored his first goal for the club on 25 October 2022, netting his side's second in a 3–2 away loss against Flamengo.[23]

Loans to Vasco da Gama and Puebla

On 20 April 2023, Carabajal was loaned to Vasco da Gama until the end of the year, with a buyout clause.[24] On 25 August, after just six appearances for the club, his loan was cut short and he moved to Liga MX side Puebla also in a temporary deal.[25]

Personal life

A declared fan of Lionel Messi, Carabajal has two tattoos of the player on his left leg.[26]
