Fadera's arrival in Slovak Fortuna Liga club FK Pohronie was announced on the club's website on 6 March 2020.[1] His debut was delayed due to league postponement, caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

On 3 August 2021, it was announced that Fadera had signed a four-year contract with Zulte Waregem. He was praised for his athleticism and physicality, as well as versatility in the offence.[3]
In March 2021, Fadera received a nomination to the Gambian national team for two African Cup of Nations qualifiers against Angola and DR Congo.
