After a season and a half with Troyes, he joined Championnat National side Cannes where he would spend the next three seasons.
In June 2007, Kadir went on trial with Ligue 2 side Amiens.[5] In July 2009, he started training with Valenciennes of Ligue 1 and two weeks later signed a two-year contract with the club.[6][7]
On 2 January 2013, Kadir moved to Marseille for a transfer fee €500,000, signing a three-and-a-half-year contract with the club.[8][9] He was subsequently loaned to Rennes and Real Betis,[10] signing an obligatory permanent contract with the latter after its promotion to La Liga.
On 31 August 2016, free agent Kadir signed for Getafe.[11] The following 5 January, he moved to fellow league team Alcorcón.[12]
