Club career
Sheffield Wednesday
Cadamarteri joined the Sheffield Wednesday youth team at the age of 8.[3] In October 2021 he scored 4 goals to help the club's under-18 team to a 6–5 win, having come back from losing 5–1.[4] In January 2022 he was linked with a transfer to a Premier League club,[5] and later that month he spoke about the challenge the youth team was facing in the FA Youth Cup.[6] In February 2022 he was again linked with a transfer away to the Premier League.[7][8]
Cadamarteri signed his first professional contract on 8 June 2022.[9][10][11][12] He made his senior debut in the EFL Trophy against Leicester City U21 on 18 October 2022.[13] He then returned to the under-18 team,[14] and the under-21 team,[15] although continued to be involved around the first-team,[16][17] but manager Darren Moore said he was not ready for first-team football yet.[18] The club also rejected loan offers for him.[19]
He suffered an injury later that season, undergoing surgery,[20] and being ruled out for the rest of the campaign.[21] He missed part of the 2023–24 pre-season whilst recovering from the injury.[22] He started the season playing with the under-21s,[23] with the club later saying that they would not rush him into the first-team.[24]
He made his league debut on 11 November 2023, appearing as a half-time substitute in a 4–0 defeat, and was praised by manager Danny Röhl.[25][26] His first senior goal came against Blackburn Rovers helping his side win 3–1.[27] After impressing Röhl, he signed a new four-and-a-half-year contract at the club on 11 December 2023.[28][29] After starting every game, scoring three goals and getting one assist for the month of December, Cadamarteri won the EFL Young Player of the Month award.[30]
On 28 August 2024, it was announced that Cadamarteri had signed a season-long loan with League One side Lincoln City.[31][32] He made his debut on 31 August 2024, coming off the bench in a 1–0 win against Stevenage.[33] His first goal came against Cambridge United scoring the second in a 2–0 win.[34] He was ruled out for the remainder of his loan in March with a groin injury, having already struggled for game time in the second half of the season due to the same injury.[35][36] He played a total of 31 times scoring 8 goals across all competitions during his season-long loan spell.[37]
After returning from his loan spell with Lincoln, Cadamarteri returned to the Sheffield Wednesday lineup on the opening day of the 2025–26 season, playing in a 2–1 defeat to recently relegated Leicester City.[38] His first goal on after his return was the equaliser away to Wrexham in a 2–2 draw.[39]
Wrexham
On 2 February 2026, Cadamarteri joined Championship side Wrexham for an undisclosed fee, signing a contract until 2029.[40][41]
International career
On 14 March 2024, he was selected for the Jamaica national team,[42] before also being called-up by the England under-19 national team the next day.[43] He made his England U19 debut coming off the bench for Will Lankshear against Morocco under-19 on 21 March 2024.[44] On 24 May 2024, Cadamarteri was called up to the England Men's Elite League squad.[45]
Cadamarteri was once again called up to the Jamaica national team in August 2025.[46] On 5 September 2025 he made his full international debut, starting in the 4–0 win against Bermuda.[47][48] The following game against Trinidad and Tobago Cadamarteri scored his first international goal.[49] In March 2026, Cadamarteri scored the only goal in Jamaica's victory against New Caledonia in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification (inter-confederation play-offs), sending his country into the final.[50]
