He made one appearance for the club's reserve team in National 2, against Hyères in January 2017.[1] After being released by Nice, he joined Vaulx-en-Velin in National 3 prior to the 2017–18 season. Having made six league appearances without scoring, he went on trial to Scottish Championship club Dundee United in January 2018[2] and was subsequently offered a contract.[3] Kadded signed as an amateur for the rest of the season with Dundee United on 20 January 2018, and made his debut the same day as a substitute in a Scottish Cup tie against Alloa Athletic.

On 1 January 2019, Kadded signed a six-month contract with Nottingham Forest.[5][6]
