In 25 July 2022, Caletti signed for Kantō Soccer League club Tochigi City from Adelaide United.[6]
In August 2023, Caletti returned to Australia, re-joining Brisbane Roar.[7] In January 2025, Caletti had his contract mutually terminated to allow him to pursue an opportunity overseas.[8] Caletti then rejoined his former club Tochigi City who have since been promoted to the J3 League[9].
