Kadji came through the youth academy at Bristol City and signed a professional contract in November 2021.[1] He played 6 matches on loan for Bath City F.C. in the 2021-22 season, making his debut on 26 December 2021 against Chippenham Town.[2] Kadji started the move that led to the fourth goal in a 4-1 win for his new club.[3] His home debut for Bath at Twerton Park came a week later in a 2-0 win on 2 January, 2022 again against Chippenham Town.[4]
Although he was still training with the Bristol City first team even whilst on loan with Bath,[5] Kadji particularly impressed manager Nigel Pearson and was singled out for praise after training with the first team squad in pre-season camp during the summer of 2022.[6] Pearson was quick to downplay too much pressure being put on the young player’s development as Kadji had suffered from injuries that meant he had to sit out sections of their summer tour of Austria.[7] On 24 August, 2022 Kadji opened the scoring 7 minutes into his Bristol City senior debut, against Wycombe Wanderers at Adams Park in an EFL Cup second round match, which finished in a 3-1 victory for his side.[8]
