Only days after lining-up against the Tigers for Wigan Athletic in our Carling Cup win at the JJB Stadium in August 2007, Caleb became City's first-ever £1million signing.
The tall striker was soon making a much bigger impact than in his brief loan spell with the Tigers in November 2001, during Brian Little's reign at Boothferry Park.
Whereas his initial stint extended only as far as a 22-minute substitute appearance against Oxford United, Caleb's return has been packed with drama and excitement.
His 'second' debut ended with him spending the night in hospital as he suffered a neck injury during the televised game at Blackpool.
Although the former Leeds United, Rushden & Diamonds and Chesterfield forward was hampered by niggling injuries during the 2007-08 campaign, he duly played a vital role in our historic rise to the Premier League.
The most crucial of his nine goals - a header in the second leg of the Play-Off Semi-Final against Watford at the KC Stadium - virtually sealed the Tigers' first-ever Wembley appearance.
Caleb was often used to great effect when coming off the bench, notably forming a potent strike partnership with Frazier Campbell.
Caleb cemented his place in Tigers history with the thrilling winner in our first-ever top flight game against Fulham at a sell-out KC Stadium in August 2008.
Qualifying for the Republic of Ireland via his grandparents, the big striker received his first call-up for the senior squad in October 2008, making his debut in a World Cup qualifier against Cyprus.
