Club career
editBorn in Olavarría, Cañete began his career with El Fortín.[2] After a spell with Racing de Olavarría, he returned to El Fortín before being signed by Quilmes in July 2008.[3]
In 2012, following impressive performances with Ferro Carril Sud in the Torneo Argentino B, Cañete was linked with a move to Torneo Argentino A side Unión.[4] However, despite this, he made a move to Primera División side Belgrano, with club president Armando Pérez confirming that he would play for the club's amateur side in the lower divisions.[5]
He would later go on to describe his time with Belgrano as the "most bitter" experience of his career, stating that the club asked him for money in order to play.[2] Having left the club in the summer of 2013, he was linked to a move to Hong Kong with Happy Valley, following the appointment of compatriot Sergio Timoner as head coach.[6]
Cañete would spend time with lower-division side Deportivo Argentino de Pehuajó, before returning to Ferro Carril Sud in mid-2015.[7] However, by mid-2016 he was playing futsal with La Estancia, where he scored forty-eight goals in his first eight games.[8][9]
Having first been linked with a move to the country in 2013, Cañete moved to Hong Kong in 2019, joining Premier League side Rangers.[10] While in Hong Kong, Cañete would state that he did not feel he was able to play with as much flair as he did in Argentina.[11] Following the COVID-19 pandemic in Hong Kong, which brought a premature end to the 2019–20 season, he underwent surgery to his spine following an injury.[12] After a year with Rangers, Cañete dropped down to the second-tier First Division side Metro Gallery.[13]
He returned to Argentina in 2022, re-joining Racing de Olavarría for a season, before joining Sindicato de Trabajadores Municipales de Olavarría.[14][15]
