Career
[edit | edit source]Cataldi's career started in Gimnasia y Esgrima's system in 2002.[1][3] He was moved into the club's first-team squad in July 2018, when he was picked to start in Copa Argentina encounters with Sportivo Belgrano and Olimpo; both of which were won 1–0.[1] He made his professional league debut on 18 August during a defeat away to Banfield in the Primera División.[1][4] He would make a further three appearances in that season for Gimnasia, though wouldn't appear competitively in 2019–20.[1] On 3 August 2020, Cataldi left on loan to Bolivian football with Bolívar.[5] He debuted in the Copa Libertadores versus Palmeiras on 1 October.[1]
In September 2021, he terminated his contract with Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata and joined O.F. Ierapetra F.C. in the Greek Second Division.[6] In September 2023, the transfer to Kalamata F.C. of the same Greek League will take place.
