Caleb was signed by Paul Jewell from Chesterfield on 26th January 2007 for a fee of £500.000. He made his Premiership debut on 30th January 2007 at the Madejski Stadium, unfortunately Latics were on the end of a 2-3 beating. He went on to play 8+5 Premiership games, scoring 5 in the process as Latics retained their Premiership status courtesy of a last day win over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. Following just 1+1 more Premiership appearances and the incoming transfers of Rachid Bouaouzan and Marcus Bent, Caleb was signed by Hull City for £1.000.000 on 31st August 2007.
On leaving Latics he saw service with Hull City and it was whilst he was based at the KC Stadium that he had a loan spell with Middlesbrough. He is currently (August 2012) out of the game after a spell with Major League Soccer outfit Colorado Rapids for whom he signed on 16th March 2011 from Hull City. In February 2012 he signed for Birmingham City but he was never included in their first team and was released in July 2012.
