Early life
editBorn and raised in a favela in Colón, Kadir was raised by his mother (deceased in 2021) after his father left both in his childhood. He quit school at the age of 14 to pursue his footballing dream.[1][2]
Career
editAfter playing in social projects in his hometown, Kadir was a part of Tauro's youth setup, where he managed to train with the first team squad.[2] He moved to Brazil in 2021, after having a trial period with Grêmio, but registration issues prevented him from signing a contract, and he left after seven months.[2]
Kadir then spent three months at Rondonópolis,[3] before being a part of Academia's squad for the 2022 Campeonato Mato-Grossense.[4] After two first team appearances, he joined Portuguesa and was assigned to the under-20 team.[3]
On 12 May 2023, Kadir renewed his contract with Lusa for a further year.[5] On 31 January 2024, he was loaned to São Caetano for the Campeonato Paulista Série A3,[6] scoring on his debut against Lemense the following day.[7]
Kadir returned to Portuguesa in April 2024, and signed a new deal until December 2025.[8]
