Career

[edit]

Cantero came through the youth ranks at Sportivo Peñarol.[3] He was promoted into the Torneo Federal B club's senior set-up in 2016, making his debut in the local league at the age of eighteen.[3] They won promotion from the newly created Torneo Regional Federal Amateur in 2019, with Cantero scoring twice in a 2–1 win over Independiente de Chivilcoy in a promotion play-off final.[3] In Torneo Federal A, the centre-forward netted league goals against Estudiantes, Huracán Las Heras, Sol de Mayo, Sportivo Desamparados and Olimpo before the season's curtailment; he also scored a brace over Desamparados in the Copa Argentina.[2]

In June 2020, Cantero departed Sportivo Peñarol at the expiration of his contract and subsequently joined Primera División side Godoy Cruz.[4][5][6][7] After going unused on the substitute's bench against River Plate a month prior, he made his debut on 14 December during a Copa de la Liga Profesional draw away to Central Córdoba; replacing Tomás Badaloni with eleven minutes left.[2][8][9][10]

In February 2022, Cantero joined Primera Nacional club Estudiantes de Buenos Aires on a loan deal until the end of the year.[11]
