He made his Ligue 1 debut on 10 September 2015 against Bastia.[2] On 3 April 2017, he was released from the club, along with Odsonne Édouard, due to inappropriate behavior outside the club involving the shooting of a passer-by with an airsoft gun.[3] Cafaro later admitted that he was the one who shot the gun.[4] On 13 June, the Toulouse Prosecutor requested a four-month suspended prison sentence and a €6,000 fine for Édouard's involvement. Édouard claimed that Cafaro was the shooter while Cafaro stated he was not in the car at the time of the incident.[5]
