Caulker is a product of the Tottenham Hotspur Academy and spent a season long loan spell in the 2009–10 season at Football League One side Yeovil Town. His performances during this loan spell brought him to the attention of the England U19 side and made 11 appearances including reaching the semi-finals of the 2010 Under-19 European Championships. He followed this up with another loan spell at Football League Championship side Bristol City making 30 appearances and winning recognition from the England U21 side before injury cut his season short. A third loan spell followed at newly promoted Premier League side Swansea City. Caulker made 26 appearances and helped the club maintain their Premier League status, and the following summer he represented the Great Britain Olympic football team at the 2012 Summer Olympics. Caulker received his first call up to the England senior side and later in November 2012 made his full England debut against Sweden, scoring a debut goal.
