Born in Canterbury,[2] Hadler attended the Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys in the city.[1]
Hadler joined the Gillingham youth set up before leaving at the age of 15 "to concentrate on his studies". He re-joined the club on a part-time basis during the 2012–13 season, and turned professional in 2015.[1][2] He spent loan spells at non-league clubs Folkestone Invicta, Tonbridge Angels, Grays Athletic and Gloucester City,[1][5][6][7][8] He became the club's second-choice goalkeeper in February 2018,[9] before making his senior debut for Gillingham on 21 April 2018 in a 3–0 home defeat in the league against Blackpool.[10][11] Despite the result, he was praised by manager Steve Lovell.[12]
He was released by Gillingham at the end of the 2018–19 season,[13] having made only three further appearances for the side, all in the EFL Trophy.[14]
On 25 June 2019, Hadler signed for Eastbourne Borough who play in the National League South.[15][16] He made his debut for the side on the opening day of the 2019–20 season in a 1–0 away loss to Billericay Town.[17]
On 16 July 2020 he signed for National League South side Ebbsfleet United.[18]
In June 2021, Hadler joined Maidstone United of the National League South.[19]
