Career

editBorn 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
editUpon 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
editOn 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.
