He was released from his AGF contract on 28 November 2008. The club said that they liked him, and that he had adapted well into the team, but he did not fit into the Scandinavian style of play. He never got to play on the first team. Cabrera returned to his native Guatemala and signed a six-month contract with C.D. Jalapa on 11 January 2009 to  play for them during the 2009 Clausura.
