About the player
Rafael Caroca was fifteen when Marcelo Espina spotted him and brought him into Colo-Colo's academy. Back at Colo-Colo, he was part of the squad that won the 2009 Clausura, and after the club's relegation in 2013 he captained Colo-Colo B in the Segunda División.
The move to Deportes Iquique in the second half of 2013 turned him into a regular starter. Spells at Universidad de Chile and a second stint at Iquique followed, both arrivals on free transfers, before three seasons at Ñublense between 2021 and 2024.
Caroca signed for Huachipato in early 2025 on a free transfer, a deal that reunited him with coach Jaime García and tied him to the club until the end of 2026.
At international level, Caroca debuted on 4 June 2008 against Guatemala, starting the full 90 minutes, then came on for seven minutes against Trinidad and Tobago in 2010. His last appearance came on 11 January 2017 against Croatia at the China Cup, when he played a single minute as a substitute.
