Déiber Caicedo

Déiber Jair Caicedo Mideros (born 25 March 2000) is a Colombian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Categoría Primera A side Atlético Junior.

Born in Barbacoas in the Nariño Department of Colombia, Caicedo moved to Cali to pursue a football career, playing for local sides Sanín and Pance.

[11] A serious injury suffered in the 2022 season ruled him out for eight months; having notched a goal and two assists in his first fifteen games, he tore the meniscus in his right knee in a match against the New England Revolution on 27 June 2022.

[12] He returned to the Vancouver Whitecaps first team for the 2023 season,[13] but due to the form of forwards Simon Becher and Brian White, as well as new signing Sergio Córdova, Caicedo found himself struggling for starts, mostly featuring as a substitute.

[16] Standing at 1.65 metres, Caicedo was given the nickname La Nigua (the chigger) by commentator Giovanni Tolozza, due to his short stature, speed and ability to 'sting' defences.
