Early life
Kaddour was born and raised in Carlton,[1] a suburb of Melbourne, Australia.[3] to Lebanese parents from Halba.[3] His favourite football club is Manchester United.[3]
Kaddour began his soccer career at local club Fawkner,[3] where he played from the under-7s to the under-15s.[4] Between 2017 and 2019, Kaddour played for Whittlesea Ranges, from the under-14s to under-20s.[5] During high school,[3] he was scouted by Melbourne City and played for their under-21 team.[5] In 2022, Kaddour joined Western United's youth team.[6]
Club career
Western United
Kaddour made his A-League debut for Western United on 20 February 2024, starting in a 2–1 defeat to Melbourne Victory.[7] On 16 April 2024, he sustained an ACL injury in a match against Adelaide United, which sidelined him for almost a year.[8] He finished the 2023–24 season with five appearances.[8]
On 3 June 2024, ahead of the 2024–25 season, Kaddour signed a two-year professional contract with Western United.[9] He returned from injury in February 2025, and played in the 2025 Victoria Premier League 1.[10] His only senior-team appearance after the injury came in the 2025 Australia Cup against Sydney FC on 29 July 2025, when he entered as a stoppage-time substitute in a 1–0 defeat.[11]
Following the suspension of Western United's participation ahead of the 2025–26 season, all players – including Kaddour – were released from their contracts in September 2025.[12][13]
South Melbourne and Hume City
On 18 September 2025, Kaddour joined NPL Victoria side South Melbourne ahead of the inaugural 2025 Australian Championship.[14] He helped his team lift the Australian Championship title,[15] after defeating Marconi Stallions 2–0 in the final.[16]
On 30 January 2026, he transferred to Hume City to compete in the 2026 NPL Victoria season.[17]
International career
Through his parents' Lebanese heritage, Kaddour became eligible to represent Lebanon internationally.[3] He received his first call-up on 13 August 2025 from coach Miodrag Radulović for an unofficial[note 1] friendly against Qatar on 26 August,[18] where he scored the only goal in a 1–0 win.[19] His official debut came on 8 September 2025, in a 0–0 friendly draw against Indonesia.[20]
Kaddour was called up to the Lebanon national under-23 team for the 2026 AFC U-23 Asian Cup, held in Saudi Arabia in January 2026.[21]
