Club Career
Norwegian-born Capaldi played for Birmingham City and Hereford United before signing for Plymouth Argyle near the end of the 2001/2002 season.
Capaldi was forced to sit out for much of the first part of the 2004/2005 season after breaking a leg during a game.
In December 2004 he signed a two year extension to his contract, extending his career with Plymouth Argyle until June 2007.
Capaldi rejected a new contract with Plymouth and on 25 May 2007 he signed a three-year contract with Cardiff City, joining on a Bosman free transfer.[1]

In doing so he beat the 80-year old record of Welshman Moses Russell.
