Kadir was a member of the Algeria national team at the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2010 FIFA World Cup. He scored two goals in twenty-five games for Algeria.
Born in Martigues, Kadir began his career in the youth ranks of his hometown club, Martigues.[3] At the age of 18, after numerous problems during his time with the club, he contemplated quitting football to become a police officer.[4] After leaving the club, he played briefly for two amateur sides, AS Gignac and Stade Beaucairois, before joining Troyes' reserve team. After a season and a half with Troyes, he joined Championnat National side Cannes where he would spend the next three seasons.
In June 2007, Kadir went on trial with Ligue 2 side Amiens.[5] In July 2009, he started training with Valenciennes of Ligue 1 and two weeks later signed a two-year contract with the club.[6][7]
On 2 January 2013, Kadir moved to Marseille for a transfer fee €500,000, signing a three-and-a-half-year contract with the club.[8][9] He was subsequently loaned to Rennes and Real Betis,[10] signing an obligatory permanent contract with the latter after its promotion to La Liga.
On 31 August 2016, free agent Kadir signed for Getafe.[11] The following 5 January, he moved to fellow league team Alcorcón.[12]
Kadir was called up by Algeria at the Under-23 level for a training camp in France.[13] He has been named in the preliminary squad for Algeria's 2010 World Cup campaign.[14] On 28 May 2010, Kadir made his debut for the Algerian national team in a friendly against the Republic of Ireland.[citation needed]
