First discovered by the club Vitória, Caique began his professional career in 2007, helping Bahian back to the top division of Brazilian football. In 2008, after limited playing time for the Lions, he moved clubs to Atlético Paranaense.

After a short spell at Oeste, Caique signed with Guarani of Serie B in 2009. Another transfer to Campinas saw him assist in their promotion to Serie A, after which he was transferred to the Vasco da Gama for the 2010 season.

In 2013, he signed a three-year contract with Ulsan Hyundai.[1]

However, this deal ended prematurely and Rocha found himself playing for Chinese League One side, Chengdu Tiancheng.
