[3] Cabedo started playing football at the age of 12 in Montserrat, living in Hostafrancs, a neighborhood in the Sants-Montjuïc district [es] of Barcelona, Catalonia.

[3] In his first season as captain, he led Sabadell to its best-ever result, a runner-up finish at the 1919–20 Catalan championship, only behind FC Barcelona.

[3] He remained at the Valais club for the rest of his football career until 1927,[4] where he formed an outstanding defensive partnership with Joaquín Montané.

As a Sabadell player, Cabedo was eligible to play for the Catalan national team, and in May 1916, together with FC Barcelona's Paulino Alcántara, Josep Samitier and Ricardo Zamora, he was part of the great Catalan side of the twenties that won the second edition of the Prince of Asturias Cup,[7] an inter-regional competition organized by the RFEF.

[3] Lluis Papell wrote a poem about him, which he published in the Catalan magazine l'Esforç in 1920:[3] "Oh el defensa més defensa dels defenses que han sortit,que juga igual quan comença que quan acaba un partit;que té una entrada terrible i una empenta colossal!Oh el gran Cabedo invencible, coratjós, fort i lleial!Tira els penals tan directes tan precisos i perfectes que un penal sempre és un gol.La seva pèrdua sería dolorosa i sembraría la d’un altre Monistrol.
