Club career

Born in Montevideo, Cabrera started his career with local Defensor Sporting, playing in seven Primera División matches for the first team as they won the 2009 Clausura. In June 2009 he signed with La Liga club Atlético Madrid for €1.5 million, paid to former Uruguay international player Daniel Fonseca who owned his rights (and ceded 50% to the Spaniards).[1]

In a strange first season, where he even failed to appear for the reserves, Cabrera's debut for the first team only took place on 2 May 2010, playing as left back in Atlético's 1–3 away loss against Sevilla FC. He was also booked in the match.[2]

In the summer of 2010, Cabrera was loaned to Recreativo de Huelva for 2010–11, with the Andalusians in the second division.[3] The following campaign, in the same situation, he joined another side in that level, CD Numancia.[4] In the following five years – the first two on loan – he continued competing competing in that tier, representing Hércules CF,[5] Real Madrid Castilla[6] and Real Zaragoza.[7]

On 15 July 2017, free agent Cabrera joined F.C. Crotone on a three-year deal.[8] His debut in the Serie A took place on 20 August, when he featured the full 90 minutes in the 0–3 home loss to A.C. Milan.[9]

Cabrera returned to the Spanish top flight on 15 January 2018, being loaned to Getafe CF.[10] On 7 July, the move was move permanent.[11]
